Psalm 3 (NASB)
1O LORD, how (A)my adversaries have increased!
Many are rising up against me.
2Many are saying of my soul,
"There is no (B)deliverance for him in God." [a]Selah.
3But You, O LORD, are (C)a shield about me,
My (D)glory, and the One who (E)lifts my head.
4I was crying to the LORD with my voice,
And He (F)answered me from (G)His holy mountain. Selah.
5I (H)lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
6I will (I)not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have (J)set themselves against me round about.
7(K)Arise, O LORD; (L)save me, O my God!
For You have (M)smitten all my enemies on the cheek;
You have (N)shattered the teeth of the wicked.
8(O)Salvation belongs to the LORD;
Your (P)blessing be upon Your people! Selah.
They fishes breathe but where thy waters roll;
Thy birds fly but within thy airy sea;
My soul breathes only in thy infinite soul;
I breathe, I think, I love, I live but thee.
Oh breathe, oh think,--O Love, live into me;
Unworthy is my life till all diving,
Till thou see in me only what is thine.
