Psalms 3

Confidence in Troubled Times

1Lord , how my foes increase!

There are many who attack me.

2Many say about me,

“There is no help for him in God.” Selah

3But You, Lord , are a shield around me,[#Gn 15:1; Dt 33:29; Ps 5:12; 18:2; 28:7; 119:114]

my glory, and the One who lifts up my head.

4I cry aloud to the Lord ,

and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah

5I lie down and sleep;

I wake again because the Lord sustains me.

6I am not afraid of the thousands of people

who have taken their stand against me on every side.

7Rise up, Lord ![#Ps 7:6]

Save me, my God!

You strike all my enemies on the cheek;

You break the teeth of the wicked.

8Salvation belongs to the Lord ;[#Jnh 2:9; Rv 7:10; 19:1]

may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
