Psalm 3In Hebrew texts 3:1-8 is numbered 3:2-9. 3

₁Lord, how many are my foes!

How many rise up against me!

₂Many are saying of me,

‘God will not deliver him.’

₃But you, Lord, are a shield around me,

my glory, the One who lifts my head high.

₄I call out to the Lord,

and he answers me from his holy mountain.

₅I lie down and sleep;

I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

₆I will not fear though tens of thousands

assail me on every side.

₇Arise, Lord!

Deliver me, my God!

Strike all my enemies on the jaw;

break the teeth of the wicked.

₈From the Lord comes deliverance.

May your blessing be on your people.
