Psalms 3

ASV(i) 1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased!
Many are they that rise up against me. 2 Many there are that say of my soul,
There is no help for him in God. [Selah 3 But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me;
My glory and the lifter up of my head. 4 I cry unto Jehovah with my voice,
And he answereth me out of his holy hill. [Selah 5 I laid me down and slept;
I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people
That have set themselves against me round about. 7 Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God:
For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone;
Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked. 8 Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah:
Thy blessing be upon thy people. [Selah
