Psalm 3

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

 ^3:1Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased!
      Many are those who rise up against me.

 ^3:2Many there are who say of my soul,
      There is no help for him in God.

 Selah.

 ^3:3But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
      My glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

 ^3:4I cry to Yahweh with my voice,
      And he answers me out of his holy hill.

 Selah.

 ^3:5I laid myself down and slept.
      I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.

 ^3:6I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people
      Who have set themselves against me on every side.

 ^3:7Arise, 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.

 ^3:8Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
      Your blessing be on your people.

 Selah.
