Psalms 3:1-5

¹A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

²Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah.

³But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

⁴I cry to the LORD with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.

⁵I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for the LORD sustains me.
