3:1   I have so many enemies, LORD, so many who turn against me!

3:2   They talk about me and say, "God will not help him."

3:3   But you, O LORD, are always my shield from danger; you give me victory and restore my courage.

3:4   I call to the LORD for help, and from his sacred hill he answers me.

3:5   I lie down and sleep, and all night long the LORD protects me.

3:6   I am not afraid of the thousands of enemies who surround me on every side.

3:7   Come, LORD! Save me, my God! You punish all my enemies and leave them powerless to harm me.

3:8   Victory comes from the LORD --- may he bless his people.
