PSALM 3.
Q Quin: nf Qnhih when he $1zh from his Sun Madam.
LORD, how many are my foes,
How many risc on me !
How many say about my life,
‘ He has no help from GOD.
But You, Loan, are my shielding helm,
My pride and rising plume ;
My voice will call the LORD,
Who from His Holy Hill replies.
I lay me down to sleep,
I wake for GOD is Guard ;
I fear no human hosts,
Though round me they arise.
Rise up, Loran; save, my Gon,
For You can strike my foes;
And break their fierce jaw teeth.

Reply to my crying, my pitying GOD,
In sufring accompany me;
Be gentle, give ear to my prayer;
How long shall men libel my honour,
Who love falsehood and seek for a lie?
But know the Lom>’s love to the lowly.
The LORD hears when they cry to Him.
Then tremble, and practice not sin;
In silence redect on your beds;
Give of pure oHerings, and trust on the LoRD.
Will that show us good?
Loxn, lift o’er us Your shining face;
And give to our hearts delight,
As when the corn and grapes increase.
I can lie down with peace and sleep.
With you, Lord, my only Guard!

Hear the voice of my cry. my King and my Gon.

LORD, at dawn hear my voice; I wait watching for dawn;
For You, Gon, love not wrong, so the wicked hate You.
The Proud cannot endure the approach of Your eyes;
You hate slaves of Vice; You destroy liars' paths.
Men of blood and rebellion jimovlm abhors.
