Psalms 3

Royal Kingdom

Trust in God under Adversity
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

1

O Lord, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;

2

many are saying of me, there is no help for him in God.Selah

3

But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

4

I cry aloud to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain.Selah

5

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.

6

I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about.

7

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

8

Deliverance belongs to the Lord; your blessing be upon your people!Selah
