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.

Psalms 3
3
Deliver Me, O Lord!
(2 Samuel 15:13–29)
A Psalms of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.
1O Lord, how my foes have increased!
How many rise up against me!
2Many say of me,
“God will not deliver him.”
Selah #3:2 Selah or Interlude is probably a musical or literary term; here and throughout the Psalms.
3But You, O Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
4To the Lord I cry aloud,
and He answers me from His holy mountain.
Selah
5I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.
6I will not fear the myriads
set against me on every side.
7Arise, O Lord!
Save me, O my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth of the wicked.
8Salvation belongs to the Lord;
may Your blessing be on Your people.
Selah
