Psalms
The book of Psalms invites you to come with Him just as you are—bringing your joy, sorrow, fear, gratitude, and hope into honest conversation with God. These sacred songs and prayers teach us that every emotion can become worship, and every season can draw us closer to the heart of a faithful Shepherd who listens, comforts, and leads.
Psalms 3
Deliver Me, O LORD!
(2 Samuel 15:13–29)
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. O LORD, how my foes have increased! How many rise up against me!
2 Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selah
3 But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
4 To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah
5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
6 I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.
7 Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
Footnotes:
3:2 Selah or Interlude is probably a musical or literary term; here and throughout the Psalms.
