Psalm 3
A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.
1 Lord, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!
2 Many are saying of me,
“God will not deliver him.”[b]
How many rise up against me!
2 Many are saying of me,
“God will not deliver him.”[b]
3 But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
4 I call out to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
4 I call out to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.
5 I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
6 I will not fear though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.
I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
6 I will not fear though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.
7 Arise, Lord!
Deliver me, my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth of the wicked.
Deliver me, my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth of the wicked.
8 From the Lord comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people.
May your blessing be on your people.
my words
why can i trust no one?
why do people hurt me so?
i have been forgotten
they say my life is an absurdist fantasy
God, i am trying to believe you care for me
through pain, i am trying to praise You
GOD, WHERE ARE YOU?!
are You speaking to me, am i too afraid to hear?
my sleep is fitful
each morning, i rise again, God has seen fit to give me air
i tremble with fear, and i am ashamed
the arrows pierce me still
Come God!
Help me to listen to your voice
SAVE ME! SAVE ME! SAVE ME!
destroy those who decimate the souls of those around
help me to see that you are in all good things, Lord
bless me, bless my family, bless my enemies
