Psalms 3

O Lord, I have so many enemies;

so many are against me.

So many are saying, “God will never rescue him!”

Interlude

But you, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.

I cried out to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy mountain.

Interlude

I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the Lord was watching over me.

I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side.

Arise, O Lord !

Rescue me, my God!

Slap all my enemies in the face!

Shatter the teeth of the wicked!

Victory comes from you, O Lord.

May you bless your people.

Psalms 3:1-8 NLT
