Psalms 3

Great(i) 1 A psalme of Dauid when he fledd from the face of Absalon hys sonne. Lord, howe are they increased, that trouble me? many are they, that ryse against me. 2 Many one there be, that saye of my soule: there is no helpe for hym in God. Sela. 3 But thou O Lorde, arte my defender: thou arte my worshyppe, and the lyfter vp of my heed. 4 I did call vpon the Lorde with my voyce, and he hearde me out of hys holy hyll. Sela. 5 I layed me downe and slepte, and rose vp agayne, for the Lorde susteyned me. 6 I will not be afrayde for ten thousandes of the people, that haue set them selues agaynst me rounde about. 7 Up Lorde, & helpe me, O my God, for thou smyttest all myne enemyes vpon the cheke bone: thou hast broken the teeth of the vngodly. 8 Saluacyon belongeth vnto the Lorde, and thy blessynge is vpon thy people. Selah.
