Psalm 3

Domine, quid multiplicati

1
LORD , how many adversaries I have!
how many there are who rise up against me!
2
How many there are who say of me,
"There is no help for him in his God."
3
But you, O LORD , are a shield about me;
you are my glory, the one who lifts up my head.
4
I call aloud upon the LORD ,
and he answers me from his holy hill;
5
I lie down and go to sleep;
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
6
I do not fear the multitudes of people
who set themselves against me all around.
7
Rise up, O LORD ; set me free, O my God;
surely, you will strike all my enemies across the face, you will break the teeth of the wicked.
8
Deliverance belongs to the LORD .
Your blessing be upon your people!
