Psalms 3 NIV

1. Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!

2. Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.”

3. But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.

4. I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain.

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

6. I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.

7. Arise, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

8. From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.
