3:1  LORD, HOW they are increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.

3:2  Many are saying of me, There is no help for him in God. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

3:3  But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

3:4  With my voice I cry to the Lord, and He hears and answers me out of His holy hill. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

3:5  I lay down and slept; I wakened again, for the Lord sustains me.

3:6  I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about.

3:7  Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

3:8  Salvation belongs to the Lord; May Your blessing be upon Your people. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
