Psalm 3

Domine quid multiplicati

  1. Lord, how are they increased that trouble me : many are they that rise against me.
  2. Many one there be that say of my soul : There is no help for him in his God.
  3. But thou, O Lord, art my defender : thou art my worship, and the lifter up of my head.
  4. I did call upon the Lord with my voice : and he heard me out of his holy hill.
  5. I laid me down and slept, and rose up again : for the Lord sustained me.
  6. I will not be afraid for ten thousands of the people : that have set themselves against me round about.
  7. Up, Lord, and help me, O my God : for thou smitest all mine enemies upon the cheek-bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
  8. Salvation belongeth unto the Lord : and thy blessing is upon thy people.
