Psalms 3

Deliver Me, O LORD!

A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.

¹Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selah

²But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.

³To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah

⁴I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

⁵I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.

⁶Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

⁷Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
