Psalms 3:1-6 ▼

1 A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

2 Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah.

3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.

5 I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for Yahweh sustains me.

6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
