The Lord Helps His Troubled People
Psalms 3
Lord, how are they increased that trouble
me!
many are they that rise up against me.2 Many there be which say of my soul,
There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter up of mine
head.
4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice,and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept;
I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of
people,
that have set themselves against meround about.
7 Arise, O Lord;
save me, O my God:
for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the
cheek bone;
thou hast broken the teeth of theungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord:thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
