Psalmen 3

1. ¹A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
2. ²LORD, how many are mine adversaries become! Many are they that rise up against me.
3. ³Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' Selah
4. ⁴But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
5. ⁵With my voice I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. Selah
6. ⁶I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me.
7. ⁷I am not afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
8. ⁸Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
9. ⁹Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. Selah
