Psalm 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 2 many there be which say of my soul, there is no help for him in god selah 3 but thou, o lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head 4 i cried unto the lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill selah 5 i laid me down and slept; i awaked; for the lord sustained me 6 i will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about 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 8 salvation belongeth unto the lord thy blessing is upon thy people selah
