Psalms 3

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 [Psalm Of David When he was fleeing from his son Absalom] Yahweh, how countless are my enemies,how countless those who rise up against me,	1 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 how countless those who say of me, 'No salvation for him from his God!'Pause	2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But you, Yahweh, the shield at my side, my glory, you hold my head high.	3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cry out to Yahweh; he answers from his holy mountain.Pause	4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 As for me, if I lie down and sleep, I shall awake, for Yahweh sustains me.	5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I have no fear of people in their thousands upon thousands, who range themselves against mewherever I turn.	6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, Yahweh, rescue me, my God! You strike all my foes across the face, you break the teeth of thewicked.	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.
8 In Yahweh is salvation, on your people, your blessing!Pause	8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
