Psalm 3:1-8 KJV


Psalm 3:1-8 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

Many there be which say of my soul. There is no help for him in God. Se'-lah.

But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Se'-lah.

I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

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.

Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; thy blessing is upon they people. Se'-lah.

2 Samuel 15:1-18 And it came to pass after this, that Ab'-sa-lom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

And Ab'-sa-lom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate; and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Ab'-sa-lom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Is'-ra'el.

And Ab'-sa-lom said unto him, See, thy masters are good and right, but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.

Ab'-sa-lom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!

And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.

And on this manner did Ab'-sa-lom to all Is'ra-el that came to the king for judgment; so Ab'-sa-lom stole then hearts of the men of Is'-ra-el.

And it came to pass after forty years, that Ab'-sa-lom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in He'-bron.

For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Ge'-shur in Syr'-i-a, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Je'ru'-sa-lem, then I will serve the LORD.

And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to He'-bron.

But Ab'-sa-lom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Is'-ra-el, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Ab'-sa-lom reigneth in He'-bron.

And with Ab'-sa-lom went  two hundred men  out of Je-ru'-sa-lem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.

And Ab'-sa-lom sent for  A'hith'-o-phel the Gi'-loh, Da'-vid's counselor, from his city, even from Gi'-loh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Ab'-sa-lom.

And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Is'-ra-el are after Ab'-sa-lom.

And Da'-vid said unto all his servants that were with him at Je-ru'-sa-lem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Ab'-sa-lom; make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.

And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.

And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.

And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.

And all his servants passed on beside  him; and all the Cher'-e-thites, and all the Pel'-e-thites, and all the Git'-tites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.

Psalm 5:11-12 But let all those that put their trust  in thee rejoice; let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them; let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

For thou, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favour will thou compass him with a shield.

Psalm 28:6-9 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

Psalm 18:1-3 I Will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

Psalm 59:16-17 But I will sing of thy power; yes, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning; for thou art hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.

Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing; for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
