[[Psalm 2|<< Psalm 2]] | [[Psalms|Psalms]] | [[Psalm 4|Psalm 4 >>]] ### Psalm 3 > A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. 1 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many _are_ they that rise up against me. ^1 2 Many _there_ _be_ which say of my soul, _There_ _is_ no help for him in God. Selah. ^2 3 But thou, O LORD, _art_ a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. ^3 4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. ^4 5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. ^5 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set _themselves_ against me round about. ^6 7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies _upon_ the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. ^7 8 Salvation _belongs_ unto the LORD: thy blessing _is_ upon thy people. Selah. ^8
