A Psalm of David, when he fled from the
presence of his son Abessalom. 3:1
O Lord, why are they that afflict me multiplied? many rise up against me.
3:2 Many say concerning my soul, There is no deliverance for him in his God.
Pause.
3:3 But thou, O Lord, art my helper: my glory, and the one that lifts up my
head.
3:4 I cried to the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy
mountain. Pause.
3:5 I lay down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord will help me.
3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, who beset me round
about.
3:7 Arise, Lord; deliver me, my God: for thou hast smitten all who were
without cause mine enemies; thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
3:8 Deliverance is the Lord's, and thy blessing is upon thy people. |
