Heart of God Saturdays: Psalm 3

Psalm 3

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

¹O LORD, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
²many are saying of my soul,
there is no salvation for him in God.
Selah

³But you, O LORD, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
⁴I cried aloud to the LORD,
and he answered me from his holy hill.
Selah

⁵I lay down and slept;
I woke again, for the LORD sustained me.
⁶I will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.

⁷Arise, O LORD!
Save me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you break the teeth of the wicked.

⁸ Salvation belongs to the LORD;
your blessing be on your people!
Selah
