Psalm 3 - Tree of Life Version

Magen David

¹ A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.

² Adonai, how many are my foes! Many are rising up against me!

³ Many are saying to my soul: “There is no deliverance for him in God.” Selah

⁴ But You, Adonai, are a shield around me, my glory and the lifter of my head.

⁵ I cry out to Adonai with my voice, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah

⁶ I lie down and sleep. I awake—for Adonai sustains me.

⁷ I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people all around who have taken their stand against me.

⁸ Arise, Adonai! Deliver me, my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek. You shatter the teeth of the wicked.

⁹ Deliverance belongs to Adonai. Let Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
