Psalm 3

1Yahweh, I have many enemies [DOU]! There are many people who oppose/rebel against me. 2Many people are saying about me, God will certainly not help him!” 3But Yahweh, you are like a shield that protects me [MET]. You greatly honor me, and you encourage me (OR, enable me to triumph over my enemies) [IDM]. 4I cry out to you, Yahweh, and you answer me from Zion, your sacred hill. 5At night I lie down and sleep, and I awake in the morning feeling good/refreshed because you, Yahweh, ◄take care of/protect► me all during the night. 6There may be thousands of enemy soldiers who surround me, but I am not afraid. 7Yahweh, arise! My God, come and rescue me again! You insult my enemies by slapping them on their cheeks; when you strike them, you break their teeth, with the result that they cannot hurt anyone [MET].
