Psalm 3:1-8
O LORD, how many are my foes!
  How many rise up against me!
Many are saying of me,
  "God will not deliver him."
        Selah
But you are a shield around me, O LORD;
  you bestow glory on me and lift[b] up my head.
To the LORD I cry aloud,
  and he answers me from his holy hill.
        Selah
I lie down and sleep;
  I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
I will not fear the tens of thousands
  drawn up against me on every side.
Arise, O LORD!
  Deliver me, O my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
  break the teeth of the wicked.
From the LORD comes deliverance.
  May your blessing be on your people.
        Selah
