Psalms 3
The psalmist faces numerous enemies who doubt God's ability to save him, but he trusts in God as his shield and protector. Despite the danger, the psalmist is able to rest and sleep, knowing God sustains him. He calls on God to arise and save him, trusting in God's power to defeat his enemies. Ultimately, the psalmist affirms that salvation belongs to God.
1O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;2many are saying of my soul, there is no salvation for him in God. Selah3But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.4I cried aloud to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah5I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me.6I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.7Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.8Salvation belongs to the LORD; your blessing be on your people! Selah
