3:1 A song of David composed while fleeing from his son Absalom. Eternal One, my adversaries are many, too many to count. Now they have taken a stand against me!
3:2 Right to my face they say, “God will not save you!” [pause]
3:3 But You, Eternal One, wrap around me like an impenetrable shield. You give me glory and lift my eyes up to the heavens.
3:4 I lift my voice to You, Eternal One, and You answer me from Your sacred heights. [pause]
3:5 I lie down at night and fall asleep. I awake in the morning—healthy, strong, vibrant—because the Eternal supports me.
3:6 No longer will I fear my tens of thousands of enemies who have surrounded me!
3:7 Rise up, O Eternal One! Rescue me, O God! For You have dealt my enemies a strong blow to the jaw! You have shattered their teeth! Do so again.
3:8 Liberation truly comes from the Eternal. Let Your blessings shower down upon Your people. [pause]
