Psalms 3:1 Psalms 3:2 (KJV) Psalms 3:3
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many [are] they that rise up against me.
Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help for him in God. Selah.
But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
