Psalm 3

1. Lord, how numerous are my enemies!Many attack me.

3. But you, Lord, are a shield that protects me;you are my glory and the one who restores me.

4. To the Lord I cried out,and he answered me from his holy hill. (Selah)

5. I rested and slept;I awoke, for the Lord protects me.

6. I am not afraid of the multitude of peoplewho attack me from all directions.

7. Rise up, Lord!Deliver me, my God!Yes, you will strike all my enemies on the jaw;you will break the teeth of the wicked.

8. The Lord delivers;you show favor to your people. (Selah)
