Psalms 3 - The Passion Translation(TPT)

Covered by the GloryKing David’s song when he was forced to flee from Absalom, his own sonThe Humbling of a King

1Lord, I have so many enemies, so many who are against me.

2Listen to how they whisper their slander against me, saying:

“Look! He’s hopeless! Even God can’t save him from this!”

Pause in his presence The Help of God

3But in the depths of my heart I truly know

that you, Yahweh, have become my Shield;

You take me and surround me with yourself.

Your glory covers me continually.

You lift high my head.

4I have cried out to you, Yahweh, from your holy presence.

You send me a Father’s help.

Pause in his presence

The Song of Safety

5So now I’ll lie down and sleep like a baby—

then I’ll awake in safety, for you surround me with your glory.

6Even though ten thousand dark powers prowl around me,

I won’t be afraid.

The Secret of Strength

7Rise up and help me, Yahweh! Come and save me, God!

For you will slap them in the face,

breaking the power of their words to harm me.

8For the Lord alone is my Savior.

What a feast of favor and bliss he gives his people!

Pause in his presence
