RSV Psalms 3 Chapter
3:1
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;
3:2
many are saying of me, there is no help for him in God. [Selah]
3:3
But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.
3:4
I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy hill. [Selah]
3:5
I lie down and sleep;I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
3:6
I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about.
3:7
Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! For thou dost smite all my enemies on the cheek, thou dost break the teeth of the wicked.
3:8
Deliverance belongs to the LORD;thy blessing be upon thy people! [Selah]
