Read Psalms 3 in the King James Bible (opens in a new tab)

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

Psalms 3:1 - 3:8

1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many [are] they that rise up against me.
2 Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O Lord, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 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.
8 Salvation [belongeth] unto the Lord: thy blessing [is] upon thy people. Selah.
