Psalm Chapter 3 Back NextPsalm 3 A Psalm by
David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
{3:1} Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
{3:2} Many there are who say of my soul, "There is no help for him in
God." Selah.
{3:3} But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
{3:4} I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy
hill. Selah.
{3:5} I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.
{3:6} I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
{3:7} Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
{3:8} Salvation belongs to Yahweh. Your
blessing be on your people. Selah.
