Psalm 3

¹Lord , how many are my foes!

How many rise up against me!

²Many are saying of me,

“God will not deliver him.”

³But you, Lord , are a shield around me,

my glory, the One who lifts my head high.

⁴I call out to the Lord ,

and he answers me from his holy mountain.

⁵I lie down and sleep;

I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

⁶I will not fear though tens of thousands

assail me on every side.

⁷Arise, Lord !

Deliver me, my God!

Strike all my enemies on the jaw;

break the teeth of the wicked.

⁸From the Lord comes deliverance.

May your blessing be on your people.
