3:1 | GOD! Look! Enemies past counting! Enemies sprouting like mushrooms, | 3:2 | Mobs of them all around me, roaring their mockery: "Hah! No help for [him] from God!" | 3:3 | But you, GOD, shield me on all sides; You ground my feet, you lift my head high; | 3:4 | With all my might I shout up to GOD, His answers thunder from the holy mountain. | 3:5 | I stretch myself out. I sleep. Then I'm up again--rested, tall and steady, | 3:6 | Fearless before the enemy mobs Coming at me from all sides. | 3:7 | Up, GOD! My God, help me! Slap their faces, First this cheek, then the other, Your fist hard in their teeth! | 3:8 | Real help comes from GOD. Your blessing clothes your people! |
