Psalm 3

English Standard Version ESV

1 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 many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.

7 Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.

8 Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing be on your people! Selah

The Message Bible MSG

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!
