KJV Psalms Chapter 3
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. 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.
