Psalms 3:5-8

Salvation Belongs to the LORD: Confidence When Surrounded by Enemies

Enemy accusation -> divine protection -> answered prayer -> sustained rest -> fearless trust -> saving petition -> covenant blessing

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

5I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

6I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.

7Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

8Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
