PSALM 3
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1O Lord, how are my foes increas'd?
against me many rise.
2Many say of my soul, For him
in God no succour lies.
3Yet thou my shield and glory art,
th' uplifter of mine head.
4I cry'd, and, from his holy hill,
the Lord me answer made.
5I laid me down and slept; I wak'd;
for God sustained me.
6I will not fear though thousands ten
set round against me be.
7Arise, O Lord; save me, my God;
for thou my foes hast stroke
All on the cheek-bone, and the teeth
of wicked men hast broke.
8Salvation doth appertain
unto the Lord alone:
Thy blessing, Lord, for evermore
thy people is upon.

Psalm 3
3
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me!
Many are they that rise up against me.
2Many there be which say of my soul,
There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me;
My glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4I cried unto the LORD with my voice,
And he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5I laid me down and slept;
I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people,
That have set themselves against me round about.
7Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God:
For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone;
Thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8Salvation belongeth unto the LORD:
Thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
