Psalm 3

Save Me, O My God

¹ O Lord, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
² many are saying to me,
"There is no help for you ₁ in God."+pSelah

³ But you, O Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
⁴ I cry aloud to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy hill.+pSelah

⁵ I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.
⁶ I am not afraid of ten thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.

⁷ Rise up, O Lord!
Deliver me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you break the teeth of the wicked.

⁸ Deliverance belongs to the Lord;
may your blessing be on your people!+pSelah
