Psalms 3:2-8

²Many people are saying about me, “God will certainly not help him!”

³But Yahweh, you are like a shield that protects me MET. You greatly honor me, and you encourage me (OR, enable me to triumph over my enemies) IDM.

⁴I cry out to you, Yahweh, and you answer me from Zion, your sacred hill.

⁵At night I lie down and sleep, and I awake in the morning feeling good/refreshed because you, Yahweh, ◄take care of/protect► me all during the night.

⁶There may be thousands of enemy soldiers who surround me, but I am not afraid.

⁷Yahweh, arise! My God, come and rescue me again! You insult my enemies by slapping them on their cheeks; when you strike them, you break their teeth, with the result that they cannot hurt anyone MET.

⁸Yahweh, you are the one who saves your people from their enemies. Yahweh, bless your people!
