3:1  This is a song that David wrote when he ran away from his son, Absalom. Lord, every day I have more enemies. Many people fight against me.
3:2  They say about me, ‘God will not save him.’ Selah.
3:3  But Lord, you are like a shield for me. You are the one who gives me honour. You lift my head up high.
3:4  I called aloud to the Lord. He answered me from his holy mountain. Selah.
3:5  I lie down and I sleep. Then I wake up, because the Lord takes care of me.
3:6  Even if 10,000 enemies are all around me to attack me, I will not be afraid of them.
3:7  Lord, stand up! My God, save me from my enemies! Hit all my enemies in the face. Break the teeth of those bad people.
3:8  Lord, it is you that saves us. You bless your people. Selah.
