Psalm 3
English Standard Version

Save Me, O My God

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

3 O Lord, (B)how many are my foes!
    Many are (C)rising against me;
2 many are saying of my soul,
    (D)“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah[a]

3 But you, O Lord, are (E)a shield (F)about me,
    my glory, and (G)the lifter of my head.
4 I (H)cried aloud to the Lord,
    and he (I)answered me from his (J)holy hill. Selah

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

7 (N)Arise, O Lord!
    Save me, O my God!
For you (O)strike all my enemies on the cheek;
    you (P)break the teeth of the wicked.

8 (Q)Salvation belongs to the Lord;
    your blessing be on your people! Selah
