Psalms 3 — BST
3Verse 1A Psalm of David, when he fled from the presence of his son Abessalom.Verse 2O Lord, why are they that afflict me multiplied? many rise up against me.Verse 3Many say concerning my soul, There is no deliverance for him in his God.+Pause.Verse 4But thou, O Lord, art my helper: my glory, and the one that lifts up my head.Verse 5I cried to the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy mountain. Pause.Verse 6I lay down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord will help me.Verse 7I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, who beset me round about.Verse 8Arise, Lord; deliver me, my God: for thou hast smitten all who were without cause mine enemies; thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.Verse 9Deliverance is the Lord's, and thy blessing is upon thy people.
