Chapter 03 - Trouble increases

1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise up against me.

2 Many there be which say of my soul, 

There is no help for him in God. 

Selah.

3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; 

my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. 

Selah.

5 I laid me down and slept; 

I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: 

for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; 

thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: 

thy blessing is upon thy people. 

Selah.
