Tehilim 3

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

2 LORD, how many are mine adversaries become! Many are they that rise up against me.

3 Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' Selah

4 But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

5 With my voice I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. Selah

6 I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.

7 I am not afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

8 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, {N} Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

9 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. Selah {P}
