(\'Earth has many a noble city\')
Psalm 3
********
Lord, they are increased that trouble
Me, unto you I do call
Many that do rise against me
Look on me, my state now see
Many say no help for my soul
For me in God is there, null
But you, LORD, as shield to me are
My glory, my morning star
You too the lifter of my head
I stay not downcast nor dread
I cried to the LORD with my voice
He did hear me, I rejoice
From His holy hill He heard me
So I laid down, my sleep be
Pleasant, free of troubles, torments
Through nights I His presence sense
And too when I new awaken
The LORD still sustains me then
I will not fear e\'en ten thousands
Nor if enemy abounds
Arise, O LORD, save me, you be
One who saves from enemy
Salvation does belong to you
Blessings on us you renew
