Psalm 3

How Many Are My Foes, But You Are My Shield

Heading

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

Many Enemies

O Lord, how my foes are multiplying!
Many are rising up against me!
Many are saying about my life, Interlude[b]
“There is no salvation for him in God.”

One Protector

But you, O Lord, are a shield for me.
You are my glory and the one who lifts up my head.
