Psalms 3

ISV^{(i) 1} A Davidic Psalm, when he fled from his son Absalom.
God Delivers His Servants LORD, I have so many persecutors! Many are rising up against me! ² Many are saying about me, “God will never deliver him!” Interlude ³ But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. ⁴ I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Interlude ⁵ I lie down and sleep, I wake up, because the LORD sustains me. ⁶ I will not fear multitudes of people, who set themselves against me on every side. ⁷ Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! For you strike the jaw of all my enemies, and you break the teeth of the wicked. ⁸ Deliverance comes from the LORD! May your blessing be on your people. Interlude
