Psalm 3
1 ¶ LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 ¶ I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
1 O LORD, how are my foes increased!
Against me many rise.
2 Many say of my soul, For him
In God no succour lies.
3 Yet thou my shield and glory art,
The uplifter of mine head.
4 I cried, and from his holy hill
The Lord me answer made.
5 I laid me down and slept, I waked;
For God sustained me.
6 I will not fear though thousands ten
Set round against me be.
7 Arise, O Lord; save me, my God;
For thou hast struck my foes
Upon the cheek; the wicked's teeth
Hast broken by thy blows.
8 Salvation surely doth belong
Unto the Lord alone;
Thy blessing, Lord, for evermore
Thy people is upon.
