Psalm 3

A Morning Psalm

1 A psalm of David, when he fled from Avshalom his son: ADONAI, how many enemies I have! How countless are those attacking me; 

2 how countless those who say of me, "There is no salvation for him in God." (Selah) 

3 But you, ADONAI, are a shield for me; you are my glory, you lift my head high.

4 With my voice I call out to ADONAI, and he answers me from his holy hill. (Selah) 

5 I lie down and sleep, then wake up again, because ADONAI sustains me. 

6 I am not afraid of the tens of thousands set against me on every side. 

7 Rise up, ADONAI! Save me, my God! For you slap all my enemies in the face, you smash the teeth of the wicked. 

8 Victory comes from ADONAI; may your blessing rest on your people. (Selah)
