Psalms 3

New International Version NIV

1 LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!

2 Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.”

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

4 I call out to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain.

5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.

6 I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.

7 Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

8 From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.

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!
