Psalms 3
The beginning of this Psalm sees David calling out about the number of people who are against him. This song was one of David’s that he wrote when Absalom came against him to overthrow the kingdom. It was a dark time for David and the question comes from David’s heart. However, how often do we also ask this question?
There are times when it seems like we want to hang our heads and say, “What next.” Yet the truth be told we don’t want the answer to that questions because we fear the answer. Something else is going to go wrong. One note about the Psalms is they reflect the human condition honestly and the honest feeling here is bordering on despair.
Psa 3:1-8
(1) A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
(2) Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
(3) But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
(4) I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
(5) I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
(6) I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
(7) Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
(8) Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
