Psalm 3
New King James Version (NKJV)
The Lord Helps His Troubled People
A Psalm of David when he fled from Absalom his son.
3:1 Lord, how they have increased who trouble me!
Many "are" they who rise up against me.
2 Many "are" they who say of me,
“"There is" no help for him in God.”Selah
3 But You, O Lord, "are" a shield for me,
My glory and the one who lifts up my head.
4 I cried to the Lord with my voice,
And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah
5 I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set "themselves" against me all around.
7 Arise, O Lord;
Save me, O my God!
For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone;
You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation "belongs" to the Lord.
Your blessing "is" upon Your people. Selah
