Psalm 3

Complete Jewish Bible

3 ⁽⁰⁾A psalm of David, when he fled from Avshalom his son:

²⁽¹⁾Adonai, how many enemies I have!
How countless are those attacking me;
³⁽²⁾how countless those who say of me,
“There is no salvation for him in God.” (Selah)

⁴⁽³⁾But you, Adonai, are a shield for me;
you are my glory, you lift my head high.
⁵⁽⁴⁾With my voice I call out to Adonai,
and he answers me from his holy hill. (Selah)

⁶⁽⁵⁾I lie down and sleep, then wake up again,
because Adonai sustains me.
⁷⁽⁶⁾I am not afraid of the tens of thousands
set against me on every side.
⁸⁽⁷⁾Rise up, Adonai!
Save me, my God!
For you slap all my enemies in the face,
you smash the teeth of the wicked.
⁹⁽⁸⁾Victory comes from Adonai;
may your blessing rest on your people. (Selah)
