Psalm 3

1 A Psalm of David, in his fleeing from the face of Absalom his son. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> O YHWH, how many are my adversaries! Many [are] rising up against me!

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

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

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

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

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

7 Arise, 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!

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