Psalms:3-4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
I cried unto the LORD with my voice ,
and he heard me out of his holy hill .
Selah .
*
I laid me down and slept ;
I awaked ;
for the LORD sustained me .
*
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people ,
that have set themselves against me round about .
*
Arise ,
O LORD ;
save me ,
O my God :
for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone ;
thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly .
*
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD :
thy blessing is upon thy people .
Selah .
*
Hear me when I call ,
O God of my righteousness :
thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress ;
have mercy upon me ,
and hear my prayer .
*
O ye sons of men ,
how long will ye turn my glory into shame ?
how long will ye love vanity ,
and seek after leasing ?
Selah .
*
But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself :
the LORD will hear when I call unto him .
*
Stand in awe ,
and sin not :
commune with your own heart upon your bed ,
and be still .
Selah .
*
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness ,
and put your trust in the LORD .
*
There be many that say ,
Who will shew us any good ?
LORD ,
lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us .
*
Thou hast put gladness in my heart ,
more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased .
*
I will both lay me down in peace ,
and sleep :
for thou ,
LORD ,
only makest me dwell in safety .
*
Give ear to my words ,
O LORD ,
consider my meditation .
