WEB ER Psalm 3

A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

1 Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me. 2 Many there are who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God.†

Selah.

3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. 4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill.

Selah.

5 I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for Yahweh sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side. 7 Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked. 8 Salvation belongs to Yahweh. May your blessing be on your people.

Selah.

†3:2 The Hebrew word rendered God is אֱלֹהִ֑ים (Elohim).
