Psalm 3
Legacy Standard Bible

Yahweh, Save Me

A Psalm of David. When [a]he fled from Absalom his son.

3 O Yahweh, how (A)my adversaries have become many!
Many are rising up against me.
2 Many are saying [b]of my soul,
“There is no (B)salvation for him in God.” [c]Selah.

3 But You, O Yahweh, are (C)a shield about me,
My (D)glory, and the One who (E)lifts my head.
4 I was calling to Yahweh with my voice,
And He (F)answered me from (G)His holy [d]mountain. Selah.
5 [e]I (H)lay down and slept;
I awoke, for Yahweh sustains me.
6 I will (I)not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who all around (J)have set themselves against me.

7 (K)Arise, O Yahweh; (L)save me, O my God!
For You have (M)struck all my enemies on the [f]cheek;
You [g]have (N)shattered the teeth of the wicked.
8 [h](O)Salvation belongs to Yahweh;
Your (P)blessing [i]be upon Your people! Selah.

Save Me, O My God

A Psalm of David, (A)when he fled from Absalom his son.

3 O Lord, (B)how many are my foes!
    Many are (C)rising against me;
2 many are saying of my soul,
    (D)there is no salvation for him in God. Selah[a]
3 But you, O Lord, are (E)a shield (F)about me,
    my glory, and (G)the lifter of my head.
4 I (H)cried aloud to the Lord,
    and he (I)answered me from his (J)holy hill. Selah
5 I (K)lay down and slept;
    I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
6 I (L)will not be afraid of many thousands of people
    who have (M)set themselves against me all round.
7 (N)Arise, O Lord!
    Save me, O my God!
For you (O)strike all my enemies on the cheek;
    you (P)break the teeth of the wicked.
8 (Q)Salvation belongs to the Lord;
    your blessing be on your people! Selah
