Psalms 3 — A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

¹Yahuah (LORD), how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

²Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in Elohim (God). Selah.

³But you, O Yahuah (LORD), are a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

⁴I cried unto Yahuah (LORD) with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

⁵I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Yahuah (LORD) sustained me.

⁶I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

⁷Arise, O Yahuah (LORD); save me, O my Elohim (God): for you have smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone; you have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

⁸Salvation belongs unto Yahuah (LORD): your blessing is upon your people. Selah.
