Psalm 3



Save Me, O My God

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

3:1  O Lord , how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
many are saying of my soul,
there is no salvation for him in God. Selah [1]

But you, O Lord , are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cried aloud to the Lord ,
and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah

I lay down and slept;
I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
I will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.

Arise, O Lord !
Save me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you break the teeth of the wicked.

Salvation belongs to the Lord ;
your blessing be on your people! Selah
