Psalm 3
A Morning Prayer of
Trust in God |
|
1 |
LORD, how are they
increased that trouble me!
|
Many are they that rise up against
me. |
|
|
2 |
Many there be which say of my
soul,
|
There is no help for him in God.
Selah. |
|
|
3 |
But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me;
|
my glory, and the lifter up of mine
head. |
|
|
4 |
I cried unto the LORD with my voice,
|
and he heard me out of his holy hill.
Selah. |
|
|
5 |
I laid me down and slept;
|
I awaked; for the LORD sustained
me. |
|
|
6 |
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of
people,
|
that have set themselves against me round
about.
|
|
|
7 |
Arise, O LORD;
|
save me, O my God: |
for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; |
thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
|
|
|
8 |
Salvation belongeth unto the
LORD:
|
thy blessing is upon thy people.
Selah. |
