PSALM 3

The LORD is Our Protector

A psalm to David when he ran away from the face of Absalom his son.

1 O lord, why were [⁴multiplied ¹the ones ²afflicting ³me]? Many rise up against me. 2 Many say concerning my soul, There is no deliverance to him by his God. PAUSE. 3 But you, O lord, [²my shielder ¹are], my glory, and the one raising up my head. 4 [²my voice ³to ⁴the lord ¹I cried out], and he heeded me from out of [²mountain ¹his holy]. 5 And I went to bed and slept. I woke up, for the lord shall assist me. 6 I shall not fear from ten thousands of people of the ones round about joining in attacking me. 7 Rise up, O lord! Deliver me, O my God! For you struck all the ones hating me for no cause; [²the teeth ³of sinners ¹you broke]. 8 [²is of the ³ lord ¹Deliverance], and [²is upon ³your people ¹your blessing].
