The Book of Psalms

Psalms 3

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

Deliver Me, O LORD!

1 O LORD, how my foes have increased!How many rise up against me!

Many say of me,“ God will not deliver him.”SelahSelah or Interlude is probably a musical or literary term; here and throughout the Psalms.

But You, O LORD, are a shield around me,my glory, and the One who lifts my head.

To the LORD I cry aloud,and He answers me from His holy mountain.Selah

I lie down and sleep;I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

I will not fear the myriadsset against me on every side.

Arise, O LORD!Save me, O my God!Strike all my enemies on the jaw;break the teeth of the wicked.

Salvation belongs to the LORD;may Your blessing be on Your people.Selah
