1 Lord, how my foes increase!

There are many who attack me.  * 3:1 2Sm 15:12; Ps 69:4

"There is no help for him in God."  * 3:2 Ps 22:7–8; 71:11Selah

3 But you, Lord, are a shield around me,  * 3:3 Gn 15:1; Dt 33:29; Ps 5:12; 18:2; 28:7; 119:114

my glory,  * 3:3 Ps 62:7  and the one who lifts up my head.  * 3:3 Ps 110:7

4 I cry aloud to the  Lord,

and he answers me from his holy mountain.  * 3:4 Ps 2:6; 43:3; 48:1Selah

5 I lie down and sleep;

I wake again because the  Lord sustains me.  * 3:5 Lv 26:6; Ps 4:8; Pr 3:24

6 I will not be afraid of thousands of people

who have taken their stand against me on every side.  * 3:6 Ps 23:4; 27:3; 118:10–13
