King James VersionPsalms3

Psalms

1 LORD, how are they in­creased that trou­ble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Se­lah.
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glo­ry, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Se­lah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sus­tained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thou­sands of peo­ple, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smit­ten all mine en­e­mies upon the cheek bone; thou hast bro­ken the teeth of the un­god­ly.
8 Sal­va­tion belongeth unto the LORD: thy bless­ing is upon thy peo­ple. Se­lah.
