Psalms 3

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.	1 A Psalm of David. When he fled from the face of his son, Absalom.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.	2 Lord, why have those who trouble me been multiplied? Many rise up against me.
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.	3 Many say to my soul, “There is no salvation for him in his God.”
4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.	4 But you, Lord, are my supporter, my glory, and the one who raises up my head.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.	5 I have cried out to the Lord with my voice, and he has heard me from his holy mountain.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.	6 I have slept, and I have been stupefied. But I awakened because the Lord has taken me up.
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 I will not fear the thousands of people surrounding me. Rise up, Lord. Save me, my God.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.	8 For you have struck all those who oppose me without cause. You have broken the teeth of sinners.
	9 Salvation is of the Lord, and your blessing is upon your people.
