Psalms 3 — DBY

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

3Verse 1Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!
^{Verse 2}Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in^°God. Selah.
^{Verse 3}But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
^{Verse 4}With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah.
^{Verse 5}I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
^{Verse 6}I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.
^{Verse 7}Arise, Jehovah; save me, my^°God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
^{Verse 8}Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
