[3:1] I have so many enemies, Lord, so many who turn against me!
[3:2] They talk about me and say, “God will not help him.”
[3:3] But you, O Lord, are always my shield from danger; you give me victory and restore my courage.
[3:4] I call to the Lord for help, and from his sacred hill he answers me.
[3:5] I lie down and sleep, and all night long the Lord protects me.
[3:6] I am not afraid of the thousands of enemies who surround me on every side.
[3:7] Come, Lord! Save me, my God! You punish all my enemies and leave them powerless to harm me.
[3:8] Victory comes from the Lord— may he bless his people.
