Psalms 3 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Morning Prayer of Trust in God.

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

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.
