The Psalms Project - Psalm 3 (Lifter Of My Head)

Lord, so many are rising up against me
Many are they who say of my soul
There is no help for me in God

When they throw stones at me
I need not fear nor flee

For you, o lord, are a shield for me
My glory, and the lifter of my head
For you, o lord, are a shield for me
My glory, and the lifter of my head

I cried to the lord with my voice
And he heard me, he heard me, he heard me
And I cried to the lord with my voice
And he heard me, he heard me, he answered me

And I lay down and slept
And I awoke for your presence sustained me

So when ten thousand fight me
I need not fear nor flee

Arise, o lord, and save me, o my God
For you have struck my enemies
You have broken their teeth
For salvation comes from you alone
Your blessing is upon your people forever
