Psalms, Chapter 3

  
1. Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.
  
2. Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. [Selah]
  
3. But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head.
  
4. I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. [Selah]
  
5. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; For Jehovah sustaineth me.
  
6. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.
  
7. Arise, O Jehovah; Save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
  
8. Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. [Selah]
