Psalms 3:1-6

¹A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.

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

³But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory, and the lifter up of my head.

⁴I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. Selah

⁵I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.

⁶I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.
