PSALM 3. DOMINE QUID MULTIPLICATI, by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE First Line: Lord, how do they increase Last Line: His blessing he extendeth. | ||||||||
Lord, how do they increase That hateful never cease To breed my grievous trouble; How many ones there be That all against poor me Their numbrous strength redouble. Even multitudes be they That to my soul do say, No help for you remaineth In God on whom you build, Yet Lord Thou art my shield, In Thee my glory reigneth. The Lord lifts up my head; To Him my voice I spread; From holy hill He heard me. I laid me down and slept For He me safely kept And safe again He reared me. I will not be afraid Though legions round be laid, Which all against me gather. I say no more but this: Up Lord now time it is, Help me my God and Father. For Thou with cruel blows On jaw-bones of my foes My causeless wrongs hast wroken. Thou those men's teeth which bite, Venomed with godless spite, Hast in their malice broken. Salvation doth belong Unto the Lord most strong; He is He that defendeth; And on those blessed same Which bear His people's name His blessing He extendeth. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PSALM 121 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE PSALM 136 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE PSALM 139 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE PSALM 8.
