Psalm 3: God, My Security Blanket.

1 O LORD, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!

2 Many are saying of me,
"God will not deliver him."
Selah

3 But you are a shield around me, O LORD;
you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.

4 To the LORD I cry aloud,
and he answers me from his holy hill.
Selah

5 I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.

6 I will not fear the tens of thousands
drawn up against me on every side.

7 Arise, O LORD!
Deliver me, O my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth of the wicked.

8 From the LORD comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people.
Selah

***
This is a psalm written by King David while he was fleeing from his own son Absalom who uprised against him.
(Read 2 Samuel 15-18 for the account).

Torn between the feelings of anger, bitterness, betrayal... and love and kinship.

The people who hurt us the most, are most often, the people we care most about.

Where can we find the source of strength to forgive, the peace of heart to remain calm, the certainly of future to not take matters into our own hands to exact revenge?

"I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.

I will not fear the tens of thousands
drawn up against me on every side.

Arise, O LORD!
Deliver me, O my God!"
