Trust in God's Protection

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.

Commentary

Psalm 3 is a powerful reminder that our trust and faith should always be placed in God, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. Just like David, we may face challenges and opposition from those around us, but we can find comfort and security in the Lord. As we read this psalm, we can learn to trust in God's provision and protection, knowing that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Let us take comfort in the words of David, "Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing be on your people!" (Psalm 3:8)
