Psalm 3, NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE
Prior Chapter   |   Next Chapter

1

O LORD, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are rising up against me.
 

2

Many are saying of my soul,
“There is no deliverance for him in God.”  Selah.
 

3

But You, O LORD, are a shield about me,
My glory, and the One who lifts my head.
 

4

I was crying to the LORD with my voice,
And He answered me from His holy mountain.  Selah.
 

5

I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
 

6

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me round about.
 

7

Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God!
For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek;
You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.
 

8

Salvation belongs to the LORD;
Your blessing be upon Your people!  Selah.
