Psalm 3 (WEBP)
[1] Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
[2] Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.”§ Selah.
[3] But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
[4] I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.
[5] I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for Yahweh sustains me.
[6] I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
[7] Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
[8] Salvation belongs to Yahweh. May your blessing be on your people. Selah.

Psalm 3 (BYZ)
[1] ψαλμος τω δαυιδ οποτε απεδιδρασκεν απο προσωπου αβεσσαλωμ του υιου αυτου [3:2] κυριε τι επληθυνθησαν οι θλιβοντες με πολλοι επανιστανται επ εμε
[2] [3:3] πολλοι λεγουσιν τη ψυχη μου ουκ εστιν σωτηρια αυτω εν τω θεω αυτου διαψαλμα
[3] [3:4] συ δε κυριε αντιλημπτωρ μου ει δοξα μου και υψων την κεφαλην μου
[4] [3:5] φωνη μου προς κυριον εκεκραξα και επηκουσεν μου εξ ορους αγιου αυτου διαψαλμα
[5] [3:6] εγω εκοιμηθην και υπνωσα εξηγερθην οτι κυριος αντιλημψεται μου
[6] [3:7] ου φοβηθησομαι απο μυριαδων λαου των κυκλω συνεπιτιθεμενων μοι
[7] [3:8] αναστα κυριε σωσον με ο θεος μου οτι συ επαταξας παντας τους εχθραινοντας μοι ματαιως οδοντας αμαρτωλων συνετριψας
[8] [3:9] του κυριου η σωτηρια και επι τον λαον σου η ευλογια σου
