    Psalm 3

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

    Lord, I have so many enemies!
        So many are standing against me.
    So many are talking about me:
        “Even God won’t help him.” Selah
    But you, Lord, are my shield!
        You are my glory!
        You are the one who restores me.
    I cry out loud to the Lord,
        and he answers me from his holy mountain. Selah
    I lie down, sleep, and wake up
        because the Lord helps me.
    I won’t be afraid of thousands of people
        surrounding me on all sides.

    Stand up, Lord!
        Save me, my God!
    In fact, hit all my enemies on the jaw;
        shatter the teeth of the wicked!
    Rescue comes from the Lord!
        May your blessing be on your people! Selah
