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.
1The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom#2 Kings 15..
2Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? Many are they who rise up against me.
3Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
4But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter-up of my head.
5I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
6I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
7I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
8For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
9Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
