Psalms 3:1-8

Psalms 3:1-8 CSB

A psalm of David when he fled from his son Absalom.  Lord, how my foes increase! There are many who attack me.  Many say about me, “There is no help for him in God.”  Selah But you, Lord, are a shield around me,  my glory,   and the one who lifts up my head.  I cry aloud to the  Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain.  Selah I lie down and sleep; I wake again because the  Lord sustains me.  I will not be afraid of thousands of people who have taken their stand against me on every side.  Rise up, Lord!  Save me, my God! You strike all my enemies on the cheek;  you break the teeth of the wicked.  Salvation belongs to the  Lord;  may your blessing be on your people.  Selah
