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