# Psalms 3 [[Psalms 2|←]] • [[Psalms 4|→]] --- A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. ### 1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many they that rise up against me. ### 2 Many which say of my soul, no help for him in God. Selah. ### 3 But thou, O Lord, a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. ### 4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. ### 5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me. ### 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set against me round about. ### 7 Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. ### 8 Salvation unto the Lord: thy blessing upon thy people. Selah.
