Psalm 3

¹ O Lord, how are my foes increas'd? against me many rise.

² Many say of my soul, For him in God no succour lies.

³ Yet thou my shield and glory art, th' uplifter of mine head.

⁴ I cry'd, and, from his holy hill, the Lord me answer made.

⁵ I laid me down and slept; I wak'd; for God sustained me.

⁶ I will not fear though thousands ten set round against me be.

⁷ Arise, O Lord; save me, my God; for thou my foes hast stroke All on the cheek-bone, and the teeth of wicked men hast broke.

⁸ Salvation doth appertain unto the Lord alone: Thy blessing, Lord, for evermore thy people is upon.
