Psalms, 3

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

1. O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;

2. many are saying of me, there is no help for him in God. [Selah]

3. But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

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

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

6. I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about.

7. Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! For thou dost smite all my enemies on the cheek, thou dost break the teeth of the wicked.

8. Deliverance belongs to the LORD; thy blessing be upon thy people! [Selah]

“A pessoa que nunca medita é como alguém que nunca se olha no espelho e, assim, não se cuida e sai desarrumada. A pessoa que medita e dirige seus pensamentos a Deus, que é o espelho de sua alma, procura conhecer seus defeitos, tenta corrigi-los, modera seus impulsos e põe em ordem sua consciência.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
