Psalms 3

Deliver Me, O LORD!

(2 Samuel 15:13–29)

1A Psalm of David, when he fled from before Absalom his son.

2The LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me.
3Many are saying of my soul^a, "There is no salvation (Yeshuah) for him in God." Selah.
4But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory and the one who lifts my head.
5With my voice I call to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Selah.
6I, I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
7I will not fear ten thousands of people who round about have set themselves against me.
8Arise, the LORD; save me^b, my God! For you have struck all my enemies on the cheek; the teeth of the wicked you have broken.
9To the LORD belongs the salvation (Yeshuah); upon your people is your blessing. Selah.
