Psalm 3

The Lord Helps His Troubled People

A Psalm of David When He Fled from Absalom His Son.

1 Lord, how they have increased who trouble me!

Many are they who rise up against me.

2 Many are they who say of me,

“There is no help for him in God.”

Selah

3 But You, O Lord, are a shield for me,

My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

4 I cried to the Lord with my voice,

And He heard me from His holy hill.

Selah

5 I lay down and slept;

I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people

Who have set themselves against me all around.

7 Arise, O Lord;

Save me, O my God!

For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone;

You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8 Salvation belongs to the Lord.

Your blessing is upon Your people.

 The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982), Ps 3.
