Psalm 3

Tweet

Today I am reading Psalm 3. Psalm 3 is a thanksgiving to God, who answered the prayer of an troubled soul. My favorite verse of this Psalm is "But you, Lord, are a shield around me". It gives me much comfort when I read that the Lord has a shield around me and that no one can hurt me. In this Psalm, David was distressed because his very own son had accomplished a rebellion against David. The following is Psalm 3: A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom. Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.” But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side. Arise, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.
