Psalms 3

Chapter 3 of 150 in Psalms. Read the complete chapter below, then use the Kweeble reflection prompts to study it in context.

1 Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

2 Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.”

3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill.

5 I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.

6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.

7 Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

8 Salvation belongs to Yahweh. May your blessing be on your people.
