Psalms 3

Save Me, O My God

A Psalm of David, awhen he fled from Absalom his son.

1 O Lord, bhow many are my foes!
Many are crising against me;
 2many are saying of my soul,
d"There is no salvation for him in God."  Selah ▼
▼The meaning of the Hebrew word  Selah, used frequently in the Psalms, is uncertain. It may be a musical or liturgical direction

 3 But you, O Lord, are fa shield gabout me,
my glory, and hthe lifter of my head.
 4I icried aloud to the Lord,
and he janswered me from his kholy hill.  Selah
5 I llay down and slept;
I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
 6I mwill not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have nset themselves against me all around.
 7 oArise, O Lord!
Save me, O my God!
For you pstrike all my enemies on the cheek;
you qbreak the teeth of the wicked.
 8 rSalvation belongs to the Lord;
your blessing be on your people!  Selah

Psalms 116

I Love the Lord

1 I slove the Lord, because he has theard
my voice and my pleas for mercy.
 2Because he uinclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
 3 vThe snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish.
 4Then wI called on the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!”
 5 xGracious is the Lord, and yrighteous;
our God is zmerciful.
 6The Lord preserves aathe simple;
when abI was brought low, he saved me.
 7Return, O my soul, to your acrest;
for the Lord has addealt bountifully with you.
 8 For aeyou have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling;
 9I will walk before the Lord
afin the land of the living.
 10 agI believed, aheven when ▼
▼Or  believed, indeed; Septuagint believed, therefore
 I spoke:
“I am greatly afflicted”;
 11 ajI said in my alarm,
ak“All mankind are liars.”
 12 What shall I alrender to the Lord
for all his benefits to me?
 13I will lift up amthe cup of salvation
and ancall on the name of the Lord,
 14I will aopay my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people.
 15 apPrecious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his aqsaints.
 16O Lord, I am your arservant;
I am your servant, asthe son of your maidservant.
You have atloosed my bonds.
 17I will auoffer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving
and avcall on the name of the Lord.
 18I will awpay my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people,
 19in axthe courts of the house of the Lord,
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
ayPraise the Lord!
