Psalm 3. Domine, quid multiplicati?

1. Lord, how many adversaries I have! *
   how many there are who rise up against me!
2. How many there are who say of me, *
   There is no help for him in his God.
3. But you, O Lord, are a shield about me; *
   you are my glory, the one who lifts up my head.
4. I call aloud upon the Lord, *
   and he answers me from his holy hill;
5. I lie down and go to sleep; *
   I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
6. I do not fear the multitudes of people *
   who set themselves against me all around.
7. Rise up, O Lord; set me free, O my God; *
   surely, you will strike all my enemies across the face, you will break the teeth of the wicked.
8. Deliverance belongs to the Lord. *
   Your blessing be upon your people!
