Psalm 3

New Revised Standard NRS

1 O Lord, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;

2 many are saying to me, "There is no help for you in God." (Selah)

3 But you, O Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

4 I cry aloud to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy hill. (Selah)

5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.

6 I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.

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

8 Deliverance belongs to the Lord; may 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!
