Psalms 3
David, fleeing from his son Absalom, laments the multitude of troubles and enemies surrounding him, but finds comfort in God's support and salvation. Despite the many who doubt his deliverance, David trusts in God's power and protection. He confidently asks God to rise up and save him, knowing that God has already defeated his enemies. Ultimately, David affirms that salvation comes from the Lord.
1A Psalm of David. When he fled from the face of his son, Absalom. Lord, why have those who trouble me been multiplied? Many rise up against me2Many say to my soul, "There is no salvation for him in his God.3But you, Lord, are my supporter, my glory, and the one who raises up my head4I have cried out to the Lord with my voice, and he has heard me from his holy mountain5I have slept, and I have been stupefied. But I awakened because the Lord has taken me up6I will not fear the thousands of people surrounding me. Rise up, Lord. Save me, my God7For you have struck all those who oppose me without cause. You have broken the teeth of sinners8Salvation is of the Lord, and your blessing is upon your people
