Psalm 3

Deliver Me, O LORD!

¹A Psalm of David, in his fleeing from the face of Absalom his son. O YHWH, how many are my adversaries! Many are rising up against me!

²Many are saying of my soul, “There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah

³and You, O YHWH, are a shield behind me, my glory, and One lifting high my head.

⁴With my voice I cry to YHWH, and He answers me from the mountain of His holiness. Selah

⁵I lie down and sleep; I awake, for YHWH sustains me.

⁶I shall not fear the multitudes of people, who have set themselves all around against me.

⁷Arise, O YHWH! Save me, O my God! O that You would strike all my enemies on the jaw; may you break the teeth of the wicked!

⁸Unto YHWH is the salvation; may Your blessing be upon Your people. Selah
