Psalms 3
|
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me. | A Psalm. Of David. When he went in flight from Absalom his son.Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me. |
Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah | Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah.) |
But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head. | But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head. |
I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. Selah | I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah.) |
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me. | I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support. |
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about. | I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me. |
Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked. | Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you. |
Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. Selah | Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah.) |
