Chapter 3
1 LORD , how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me .
2 Many there are who say of my soul, " There is no help for him in God ." " (Elohim). Selah.
3 But you , LORD , are a shield around me , my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 I cry to the LORD with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for the LORD sustains me .
6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
7 Arise, LORD ! Save me , my God ! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD . May your blessing be on your people . Selah.
