Psalm 3
Free Bible Version
Chapter overview
Surrounded during flight, the psalmist entrusts danger and reputation to God. Protection becomes a shield, prayer receives an answer, and secure sleep leads to renewed courage despite overwhelming opposition on every side.

1Lord, my enemies have become so many; so many are rebelling against me.
2So many are telling me, “God can't save you!” Selah.
3But you, Lord, are a shield protecting me. You give me victory; you hold my head high.
4I cry out to the Lord for help, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Selah.
5I lie down to sleep, and in the morning I wake up because the Lord takes care of me.
6I'm not afraid of tens of thousands who surround me, people who are against me.
7Stand up for me, Lord! Save me, my God! Hit all my enemies on the cheek; break the teeth of the wicked!
8Salvation belongs to you, Lord; may you be a blessing to your people. Selah.
