MHRPC: Psalm 3

Psalm 3

New Britain, C.M. [D]

1. ¹ O LORD, how are my foes increased!
        Against me many rise.
² How many say, "In vain for help
        He on his God relies!"

2. ³ You are my shield and glory, LORD;
        You lifted up my head.
⁴ I cried out,"LORD!" and from His hill
        To me His answer sped.

3. ⁵ I lay down, slept, and woke again --
        The LORD is keeping me.
⁶ I will not fear ten thousand men
        Entrenched surrounding me.

4. ⁷ Arise, O LORD! Save me, my God!
        You punish all my foes.
You smite the face of wicked men,
        Their teeth break with your blows.

5. ⁸ Deliverance is from the LORD,
        Salvation His alone!
O let Your blessing evermore
        Be on Your people shown.
