Psalm 3*Threatened but Trusting1A psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.*a I 2How many are my foes, Lord! How many rise against me! 3*How many say of me, “There is no salvation for him in God.”b Selah 4But you, Lord, are a shield around me; my glory, you keep my head high.c II 5With my own voice I will call out to the Lord, and he will answer me from his holy mountain. Selah 6I lie down and I fall asleep, [and] I will wake up, for the Lord sustains me.d 7I do not fear, then, thousands of people arrayed against me on every side.
