Psalm3
A Call to Yahweh in Distress
A psalm of David at his fleeing from the presence of Absalom, his son.
1Yahweh, how many are my enemies;many are rising against me.2Many are saying about my soul,“There is no deliverance for him from God. Selah 3But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,my glory and the one who lifts up my head.4With my voice I call to Yahwehand he answers me from ⸤his holy hill⸥. Selah5I lay down and slept;I woke up because Yahweh sustains me.6I am not afraid of the ten thousands of peoplewho all around have set themselves against me.7Rise up, O Yahweh; deliver me, O my God;for you strike all my enemies on the cheek.The teeth of the wicked you break.8To Yahweh belongs deliverance;may your blessing be over your people.
