Psalm 3:1-8 TLB

[1] A psalm of David when he fled from his son Absalom O Lord, so many are against me. So many seek to harm me. I have so many enemies. [2] So many say that God will never help me. [3] But Lord, you are my shield, my glory, and my only hope. You alone can lift my head, now bowed in shame. [4] I cried out to the Lord, and he heard me from his Temple in Jerusalem. [5] Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the Lord was watching over me. [6] And now, although ten thousand enemies surround me on every side, I am not afraid. [7] I will cry to him, "Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God!" And he will slap them in the face, insulting them and breaking off their teeth. [8] For salvation comes from God. What joys he gives to all his people.
