AMEN.
O LORD, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
many are saying of me, there is no help for him in God.
But thou, O LORD,
art a shield about me, my glory,
and the lifter of my head.
I cry aloud to the LORD,
and he answers me from his holy hill.
I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
I am not afraid of ten thousands
of people who have set themselves against me round about.
Arise, O LORD!
Deliver me, O my God!
For thou dost smite all my enemies on the cheek,
thou dost break the teeth of the wicked.
Deliverance belongs to the LORD;
thy blessing be upon thy people!
Psalm 3
