‏ Psalms 3

1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me. 2 Many there are that say ^▼▼1 of my soul, There is no ^▼▼2 help for him in God. [[Selah ^{▼▼1) Or to 2) Or salvation} 3 But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head.

4 I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. [[Selah 5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; For Jehovah sustaineth me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about. 7 Arise, O Jehovah; Save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked. 8 ^▼▼1 Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. [[Selah ^{▼▼1) Or Victory}
