Psalm 3

Confidence in Troubled Times

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

Lord, how my foes increase!
There are many who attack me.(B)
Many say about me,
“There is no help for him in God.”(C)Selah

But you, Lord, are a shield around me,(D)
my glory,(E) and the one who lifts up my head.(F)
I cry aloud to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.(G)Selah

I lie down and sleep;
I wake again because the Lord sustains me.(H)
I will not be afraid of thousands of people
who have taken their stand against me on every side.(I)

Rise up, Lord!(J)
Save me, my God!
You strike all my enemies on the cheek;(K)
you break the teeth of the wicked.(L)
Salvation belongs to the Lord;(M)
may your blessing be on your people.(N)Selah

求助的早禱

大衛逃避兒子押沙龍時作的詩。

耶和華啊,我的敵人何其多!
反對我的人何其多!
他們都說上帝不會來救我。(細拉)[a]

可是,耶和華啊!
你是四面保護我的盾牌,
你賜我榮耀,使我昂首而立。
我向耶和華呼求,
祂就從祂的聖山上回應我。(細拉)
我躺下,我睡覺,我醒來,
都蒙耶和華看顧。
我雖被千萬仇敵圍困,
也不會懼怕。
耶和華啊,求你起來!
我的上帝啊,求你救我!
求你摑我一切仇敵的臉,
打碎惡人的牙齒。
耶和華啊,你是拯救者,
願你賜福你的子民!(細拉)
