Psalm 3

Dauid driuẽ forthe of his kingdome, was greatly tormeted in minde for his ſinnes againſt God: 4 And therefore calleth vpon God, & waxeth bolde through his promiſes againſt the great railings and terrors of his enemies, yea, againſt death it ſelf, which he ſawe preſent before his eyes. 7 Finally he reioyceth for the good ſucceſſe, that God gaue him, and all the Church.
A Pſalme of Dauid, when he fled from his ſonne Abſalóm.
1.LOrd, how are mine aduerſaries increaſed? how manie riſe againſt me?
2.Manie ſaye to my ſoule, There is no helpe for him in God. Sélah.
3.But thou Lord art a buckler for me: my glorie, and the lifter vp of mine head.
4.I did call vnto the Lord with my voyce, and he heard me out of his holie moũtaine. Sélah.
5.I laied me downe & ſlept, and roſe vp againe: for the Lord ſuſteined me.
6.I wil not be afrayed for ten thouſand of the people, that ſhulde beſet me round about.
7.O Lord, ariſe: helpe me, my God: for thou haſt ſmitten all mine enemies vpon the cheke bone: thou haſt broken the teeth of the wicked.
8.Saluaciõ belongeth vnto the Lord, & thy bleſsing is vpon thy people. Sélah.
