Psalm 3 (The Message)
View In My Bible
1
God! Look! Enemies past counting! Enemies sprouting like mushrooms,
2
Mobs of them all around me, roaring their mockery: "Hah! No help for him from God!"
3
But you, God, shield me on all sides; You ground my feet, you lift my head high;
4
With all my might I shout up to God, His answers thunder from the holy mountain.
5
I stretch myself out. I sleep. Then I'm up again - rested, tall and steady,
6
Fearless before the enemy mobs Coming at me from all sides.
7
Up, God! My God, help me! Slap their faces, First this cheek, then the other, Your fist hard in their teeth!
8
Real help comes from God. Your blessing clothes your people!
