Psalms 3 — AAB

Deliver Me, O LORD!

A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.

3Verse 1O LORD, how my foes have increased!How many rise up against me!^{Verse 2}Many say of me,“God will not deliver him.”Selah^{+Verse 3}But You, O LORD, are a shield around me,my glory, and the One who lifts my head.^{Verse 4}To the LORD I cry aloud,and He answers me from His holy mountain.Selah^{Verse 5}I lie down and sleep;I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.^{Verse 6}I will not fear the myriadsset against me on every side.^{Verse 7}Arise, O LORD!Save me, O my God!Strike all my enemies on the jaw;break the teeth of the wicked.^{Verse 8}Salvation belongs to the LORD;may Your blessing be on Your people.Selah
