Psalm 3
Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 3
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me!
many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul,
There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice,
and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept;
I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people,
that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God:
for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone;
thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord:
thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

Oración matutina de confianza en Dios
Salmo de David, cuando huía de su hijo Absalón.(A)
3 Señor, ¡cómo han aumentado mis enemigos!
Son muchos los que me atacan,
2 son muchos los que me dicen
que tú no vendrás en mi ayuda.
3 Pero tú, Señor, me rodeas como un escudo;
eres mi orgullo, el que sostiene mi vida.
4 Con mi voz clamaré a ti, Señor,
y tú me responderás desde tu lugar santo.
5 Yo me acuesto, y duermo y despierto,
porque tú, Señor, me sostienes.
6 Aun si me rodean legiones de soldados,
no tengo nada que temer.
7 Señor y Dios mío, ¡acude a rescatarme!
¡Hiere a todos mis enemigos en la mejilla!
¡Rómpeles los dientes a esos malvados!
8 A ti, Señor, te corresponde salvar;
¡derrama tus bendiciones sobre tu pueblo!
