Psalm 3, NEW REVISED STANDARD VERSION
Prior Chapter   |   Next Chapter

1

O Lord, how many are my foes!  Many are rising against me;

2

many are saying to me, “There is no help for you in God.”  (Selah)

3

But you, O Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
 

4

I cry aloud to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy hill.  (Selah)
 

5

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.

6

I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.
 

7

Rise up, O Lord!  Deliver me, O my God!  For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.
 

8

Deliverance belongs to the Lord; may your blessing be on your people!  (Selah)
