| Chapter 3 |
| 1 | Lord, how are they increased
that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. |
| 2 | Many there be
which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. |
| 3 | But
thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine
head. |
| 4 |
I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of
his holy hill. Selah. |
| 5 | I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the
LORD sustained me. |
| 6 | I will not be afraid of ten thousands of
people, that have set themselves against me round about. |
| 7 | Arise, 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. |
| 8 | Salvation
belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. |
