Psalm 3

Trust in God under Adversity A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; many are saying to me, “There is no help for you in God.” Selah But you, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me. I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around. Rise up, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked. Deliverance belongs to the LORD; may your blessing be on your people! Selah
