Psalm 3
How Many Are My Foes, But You Are My Shield
Heading

A psalm by David. When he fled from Absalom, [1] his son.

Many Enemies

1 O Lord, how my foes are multiplying!

Many are rising up against me!
2 Many are saying about my life, Interlude [2]
“There is no salvation for him in God.”

One Protector

3 But you, O Lord, are a shield for me.

You are my glory and the one who lifts up my head.
4 With a loud voice I cry out to the Lord, Interlude
and he answers me from his holy mountain.

Peaceful Rest

5 I lie down, and I sleep.

I awake, because the Lord sustains me.
6 I will not be afraid of the thousands of people
    who line up against me on all sides.

Certain Victory

7 Rise up, O Lord! Save me, my God!

Yes, you will strike all my enemies on the jaw.
The teeth of the wicked you will break.
8 Salvation belongs to the Lord. Interlude
Your blessing rests on your people.

Psalm 4
My Righteous God, Give Me Relief
Heading

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A psalm by David.

A Prayer to God

1 My righteous God, answer me when I call.

When I was under pressure, you gave me relief.
Be merciful to me and hear my prayer.

A Rebuke to Enemies

2 You people, how long will you turn my glory into shame?

How long will you love empty delusions? Interlude
How long will you pursue lies?
3 Know this: The Lord has set apart
    his favored one [3] for himself.
The Lord will hear when I call to him.

Advice to Friends

4 You may be upset, but do not sin.

When you are on your beds,
    speak to your heart, but remain silent. Interlude
5 Offer righteous sacrifices,
and trust in the Lord.
6 Many are saying, “Who can show us any good?”
Shine the light of your face on us, O Lord.

Closing Prayer

7 You have placed joy in my heart greater than the joy

    when grain and new wine are plentiful.
8 In complete peace I will lie down, and I will sleep,
for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Footnotes
  1. Psalm 3:1 See 2 Samuel 15–18.
  2. Psalm 3:2 The Hebrew term selah probably indicates a musical interlude for meditation, so selah is translated interlude throughout Psalms.
  3. Psalm 4:3 The Hebrew word hasid refers to someone who receives and/or gives mercy. It is the most common title for a believer in the Psalms. Many translations use generic terms like devout, godly, or faithful. This translation uses favored when hasid refers primarily to a recipient of mercy and merciful when it refers primarily to a dispenser of mercy.
