Psalm 3

8 verses · Psalm of lament

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

The line breaks below follow the poem's own punctuation.

O LORD, how my foes have increased!How many rise up against me!

Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selah

But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.

To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah

I lie down and sleep;I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.

Arise, O LORD!Save me, O my God!Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
