Psalm 3:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 How numerous are the ones who say of me,
“He will not receive salvation from God.” Selah[a]
4 But you, O Lord, are a shield to protect me;
you are my glory and the one who raises my head high.[b]
5 Whenever I cry aloud to the Lord,
he answers me from his holy mountain.[c] Selah
