Psalm 3:1-Psalm 4:1 - Confidence In Troubled Times

¹ O Lord, how my enemies have increased!
Many are rising up against me.
²
Many are saying of me,
“There is no help [no salvation] for him in God.” Selah.

³
But You, O Lord, are a shield for me,
My glory [and my honor], and the One who lifts my head.
⁴
With my voice I was crying to the Lord,
And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.

⁵
I lay down and slept [safely];
I awakened, for the Lord sustains me.
⁶
I will not be intimidated or afraid of the ten thousands
Who have set themselves against me all around.

⁷
Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God!
For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek;
You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.

⁸
Salvation belongs to the Lord;
May Your blessing be upon Your people. Selah.

¹ Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have freed me when I was hemmed in and relieved me when I was in distress;
Be gracious to me and hear [and respond to] my prayer.
