Morning prayer of trust in God.

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

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

²O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;

³many are saying of me, there is no help for him in God. [Selah]

⁴But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

⁵I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy hill. [Selah]

⁶I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

⁷I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about.

⁸Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! For thou dost smite all my enemies on the cheek, thou dost break the teeth of the wicked. [ (Psalms 3:9) Deliverance belongs to the LORD; thy blessing be upon thy people! [Selah] ]
