[1] A Psalm. Of David. When he went in flight from Absalom his son. [2]
\3:1\Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great
numbers they come against me. [3] \3:2\Unnumbered are those who say of my
soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah.) [4] \3:3\But your strength,
O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head. [5]
\3:4\I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer
from his holy hill. (Selah.) [6] \3:5\I took my rest in sleep, and then
again I was awake; for the Lord was my support. [7] \3:6\I will have no
fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against
me. [8] \3:7\Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given
all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have
been broken by you. [9] \3:8\Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing
is on your people. (Selah.)
