Psalm 3^[a]

A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.^(a)

¹ Lord, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!
² Many are saying of me,
"God will not deliver him.^(b)"^[b]

³ But you, Lord, are a shield^(c) around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.^(d)
⁴ I call out to the Lord,^(e)
and he answers me from his holy mountain.^(f)

⁵ I lie down and sleep;^(g)
I wake again,^(h) because the Lord sustains me.
⁶ I will not fear⁽ⁱ⁾ though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.^(j)

⁷ Arise,^(k) Lord!
Deliver me,^(l) my God!
Strike^(m) all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth⁽ⁿ⁾ of the wicked.

⁸ From the Lord comes deliverance.^(o)
May your blessing^(p) be on your people.
