Psalm 3

Contemporary English Version

³ But you are my shield,
and you give me victory
    and great honor.
⁴ I pray to you, and you answer
    from your sacred hill.

⁵ I sleep and wake up refreshed
because you, Lord,
    protect me.
⁶ Ten thousand enemies attack
from every side,
    but I am not afraid.

⁷ Come and save me, Lord God!
Break my enemies' jaws
    and shatter their teeth,
⁸ because you protect
    and bless your people.
