Psalm 3:1-8 RSV

[1] O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; [2] many are saying of me, there is no help for him in God. Selah [3] But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. [4] I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah [5] I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me. [6] I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about. [7] Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! For thou dost smite all my enemies on the cheek, thou dost break the teeth of the wicked. [8] Deliverance belongs to the LORD; thy blessing be upon thy people! Selah
