Psalm 3
| 1 | LORD, how many adversaries I have! * how many there are who rise up against me! |
| 2 | How many there are who say of me, * "There is no help for him in his God." |
| 3 | But you, O LORD, are a shield about me; * you are my glory, the one who lifts up my head. |
| 4 | I call aloud upon the LORD, * and he answers me from his holy hill; |
| 5 | I lie down and go to sleep; * I wake again, because the LORD sustains me. |
| 6 | I do not fear the multitudes of people * who set themselves against me all around. |
| 7 | Rise up, O LORD; set me free, O my God; * surely, you will strike all my enemies across the face, you will break the teeth of the wicked. |
| 8 | Deliverance belongs to the LORD. * Your blessing be upon your people! |
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy-laden, and I will
give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me;
for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for
your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
