1 A Psalm. Of David. When he went in flight from Absalom his son.

2 \3:1\Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me.

3 \3:2\Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah.)

4 \3:3\But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.

5 \3:4\I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah.)

6 \3:5\I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support.
