PSAL. III. A Psalm of David when he fled from the face of Absalom his Son
O Lord my foes how great are they? How many up against me stand. verse 2 No help is to my soul they say, In God for him at any hand. verse 3 My shield and glory yet art thou Lord and th' up-lifter of my head. ⟨p. 27⟩verse 4 I with my voice to J•h called, who From's holy hill me answered. Selah.

verse 5 I lay down slept, and wake did I, For me Jehovah up did bear. verse 6 The folk that round against me lie, Ten thousands of them I'll not fear. verse 7 O Lord my God, to save me rise; For all mine enemies thou hast stroke Upon the cheek-bone: thou likewise The teeth hast of the wicked broke.
