Christianity

Psalm 3:1-8

A psalm of David when he fled from Absalom, structured as a chiasm moving from distress to deliverance with confident trust at the center.

AMany are rising against meA'

BMany say there is no help for him in GodB'

CBut you, O LORD, are a shield about meC'

XI CRIED TO THE LORD AND HE ANSWERED ME

C'I lay down and slept; the LORD sustained meC

B'I will not be afraid of ten thousandsB

A'Arise, O LORD! Save me! Deliverance belongs to the LORDA
