Psalms 3

PSALM 3

1Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!

2Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God Selah.[#Hebrew: Elohim]

3But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

4With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah.

5I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.

6I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.

7Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.[#Hebrew: Elohim]

8Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
