A Psalm of David (Ps. 3: CEB translation, published in 2011): when he fled from his son Absalom

LORD, I have so many enemies!  So many are standing against me.
So many are talking about me: " Even God won't help him."
But you, LORD, are my shield!
You are my glory! You are the one who restores me.
I cry out loud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain.
I lie down, sleep, and wake up because the LORD helps me.
I won't be afraid of thousands of people surrounding me on all sides.
Stand up, LORD!
Save me, my God!
In fact, hit all my enemies on the jaw; shatter the teeth of the wicked!
Rescue comes rom the LORD! May your blessing be on your people!  Selah
