תהילים ג׳Psalms 3

A psalm of David when he fled from his son Absalom.

O ETERNAL One, my foes are so many!
Many are those who attack me;

many say of me,
“There is no deliverance for him through God.” Selah.

But You, O ETERNAL One, are a shield about me,
my glory, who holds my head high.

I cry aloud to GOD,
who answers me from the holy mountain. Selah.

I lie down and sleep and wake again,
for GOD sustains me.

I have no fear of the myriad forces
arrayed against me on every side.

Rise, O ETERNAL One!
Deliver me, O my God!
For You slap all my enemies in the face;
You break the teeth of the wicked.

Deliverance is GOD’s;
Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah.
