Psalms 3— NLT

1O LORD, I have so many enemies; so many are against me.

2So many are saying, "God will never rescue him!"

3But you, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts my head high.

4I cried out to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy mountain.

5I lay down and slept. I woke up in safety, for the LORD was watching over me.

6I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side.

7Arise, O LORD! Rescue me, my God! Slap all my enemies in the face! Shatter the teeth of the wicked!

8Victory comes from you, O LORD. May your blessings rest on your people.
