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

  • 1 Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!
  • 2 Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.”
  • 3 But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
  • 4 I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain.
  • 5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
  • 6 I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.
  • 7 Arise, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
  • 8 From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.
