| Chapter 3 |
1 |
{A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.} Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me! --
|
2 |
Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. Selah. --
|
3 |
But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head. --
|
4 |
With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah. --
|
5 |
I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me. --
|
6 |
I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about. --
|
7 |
Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked. --
|
8 |
Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. --
