Psalms 3

NSB(i) 1 ([Psalm of David]) O Jehovah, look how my enemies have increased! Many are attacking me. 2 Many are saying about me: »Even with God on his side, he will not have victory (deliverance) (salvation).« 3 You, O Jehovah, are a protective shield over me. You are my glory. You hold my head high. 4 I call aloud to Jehovah. He answers me from his holy mountain. 5 I lie down and sleep. I wake up again because Jehovah continues to sustain me. 6 I am not afraid of the tens of thousands who have taken positions against me on all sides. 7 Arise, O Jehovah! Save me, O my God! You have slapped all my enemies in the face. You have broken the teeth of wicked people. 8 Salvation belongs to Jehovah! You bless your people.
