#psalm 3

O Lord, how many are my foes!     Many are rising against me; 2 many are saying of my soul,     “There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah 3 But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,     my glory, and the lifter of my head. 4 I cried aloud to the Lord,     and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah 5 I lay down and slept;     I woke again, for the Lord sustained me. 6 I will not be afraid of…

How many rise up against me!

Many are saying of me,

“God will not deliver him.”

But you, Lord, are a shield around me,

my glory, the One who lifts my head high.

I call out to the Lord,

and he answers me from his holy mountain.

I lie down and sleep;

I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

I will not fear though tens of thousands

assail me on every side.

Arise, Lord!

Deliver me, my God!

Strike all my enemies on the jaw;

break the teeth of the wicked.

From the Lord comes deliverance.

May your blessing be on your people.

I lay down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about.

Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek, you break the teeth of the wicked.

DID YOU KNOW “O LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me. Many are saying of my soul, ‘There is no deliverance for him in God.’ Selah. But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head.” (Psalm 3:1–3, NASB) Psalm 3 is often read as a lament, but it is more accurately a song of spiritual realism. David does not minimize the pressure…

As the Day Begins Meditation There is a sacred quietness in the early morning—a stillness before the demands of life take shape. In those moments, we are reminded that the first voice we need to hear is not our own, nor the world’s, but the Lord’s. Psalm 3 gives us the words of a man who knew what it meant to wake up surrounded by trouble and yet begin his day with confidence rooted in God’s…
