Psalm 3; Titus 3:4–7

Save Me, O My God

A Psalm of David, nwhen he fled from Absalom his son.

3  O Lord, ohow many are my foes!

Many are prising against me;

2  many are saying of my soul,

q“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah1

3  But you, O Lord, are ra shield sabout me,

my glory, and tthe lifter of my head.

4  I ucried aloud to the Lord,

and he vanswered me from his wholy hill. Selah

5  I xlay down and slept;

I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.

6  I ywill not be afraid of many thousands of people

who have zset themselves against me all around.

7  aArise, O Lord!

Save me, O my God!

For you bstrike all my enemies on the cheek;

you cbreak the teeth of the wicked.

8  dSalvation belongs to the Lord;

your blessing be on your people! Selah

4 But when dthe goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, enot because of works done by us in righteousness, but faccording to his own mercy, by gthe washing of regeneration and hrenewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he ipoured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that jbeing justified by his grace we might become kheirs laccording to the hope of eternal life.
