Psalms 3 — FBV

A psalm of David concerning the time he had to flee from his son Absalom.

3Verse 1Lord, my enemies have become so many; so many are rebelling⁺against me.
^{Verse 2}So many are telling me, “God can't save you!” Selah.
^{Verse 3}But you, Lord, are a shield protecting me. You give me victory;⁺you hold my head high.
^{Verse 4}I cry out to the Lord for help, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Selah.
^{Verse 5}I lie down to sleep, and in the morning⁺I wake up because the Lord takes care of me.
^{Verse 6}I'm not afraid of tens of thousands who surround me, people who are against me.
^{Verse 7}Stand up for me, Lord! Save me, my God! Hit all my enemies on the cheek; break the teeth of the wicked!
^{Verse 8}Salvation belongs to you, Lord; may you be a blessing to your people. Selah.
