Psalm 3:1-3

Psalm 3In Hebrew texts 3:1-8 is numbered 3:2-9. 1A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom. LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!

2Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.” The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verses 4 and 8.

3But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
