Psalm 3

Revised Geneva Translation

3 LORD, how my adversaries are increased? How many rise against me?

² Many say to my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah.

³ But You, LORD, are a buckler for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

⁴ I called to the LORD with my voice, and He heard me out of His Holy Mountain. Selah.

⁵ I laid down and slept; and rose up again. For the LORD sustained me.

⁶ I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who should beset me all around.

⁷ O LORD, arise! Help me, my God! For You have struck all my enemies upon the cheekbone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

⁸ Salvation belongs to the LORD. And Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah. To him who excels on Neginoth: A Psalm of David.
