Psalm 3
New American Standard Bible

Morning Prayer of Trust in God.

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

3 Lord, how (A)my enemies have increased!
Many are rising up against me.
2 Many are saying of my soul,
“There is no (B)salvation for him in God.” Selah

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

7 (K)Arise, Lord; (L)save me, my God!
For You [d]have (M)struck all my enemies on the [e]cheek;
You [f]have (N)shattered the teeth of the wicked.
8 [g](O)Salvation belongs to the Lord;
May Your (P)blessing [h]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 around.

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

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.
