Psalm 3

Psalm 3

1Lord , I have so many enemies!

So many people are rising up against me!

2Many are saying about me,

“God will not save him.”

3Lord , you are like a shield that keeps me safe.

You bring me honor. You help me win the battle.

4I call out to the Lord .

He answers me from his holy mountain.

5I lie down and sleep.

I wake up again, because the Lord takes care of me.

6I won’t be afraid even though tens of thousands

attack me on every side.

7Lord , rise up!

My God, save me!

Strike all my enemies in the face.

Break the teeth of sinful people.

8Lord , you are the one who saves.

May your blessing be on your people.
