PS-3:1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD,

 how are they

increased that trouble me! many [are] they that rise up against

me.

PS-3:2 Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help

for him in

God. Selah.

PS-3:3 But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and

the lifter up of

mine head.

PS-3:4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out

of his holy

hill. Selah.

PS-3:5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD

sustained me.

PS-3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that

have set

[themselves] against me round about.

PS-3:7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten

all mine

enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the

ungodly.

PS-3:8 Salvation [belongeth] unto the LORD: thy blessing [is]

upon thy people.

Selah.
