Psalm 3-A Morning Prayer for Help

How many are my foes, O LORD;*
    How many are rising up against me!
How many are saying about me:*
    "No help will come from God."

But you, LORD, are a shield about me,*
    my glory, who lift up my head.
I cry aloud to you, LORD.*
    You answer from your holy mountain.
I lie down to rest and I sleep.*
    I wake, for you uphold me.
I will not fear even thousands of people*
    who are ranged on every side against me.

Arise, LORD; save me, my God,*
    you who strike all my foes on the mouth,
you who break the teeth of the wicked!*
    O LORD of salvation, bless your people!
