Psalms 3 — ULB

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

3Verse 1Yahweh, how many are my enemies!
Many have risen against me.
^{Verse 2}Many say about me,
“There is no help for him from God.” Selah
^{Verse 3}But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
^{Verse 4}I lift up my voice to Yahweh,
and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah
^{Verse 5}I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for Yahweh protected me.
^{Verse 6}I will not be afraid of the multitudes of people
who have set themselves against me on every side.
^{Verse 7}Rise up, Yahweh! Save me, my God!
For you will hit all my enemies on the jaw;
you will break the teeth of the wicked.
^{Verse 8}Salvation comes from Yahweh.
May your blessings be on your people. Selah
