3:1  Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
3:2  Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3:3  But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
3:4  I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
3:5  I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
3:6  I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
3:7  Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
3:8  Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
3:1  

〔 大 衛 逃 避 他 兒 子 押 沙 龍 的 時 候 作 的 詩 。 〕 耶 和 華 阿 、 我 的 敵 人 何 其 加 增 . 有 許 多 人 起 來 攻 擊 我 。
3:2  有 許 多 人 議 論 我 說 、 他 得 不 著   神 的 幫 助 。 〔 細 拉 〕
3:3  但 你 耶 和 華 是 我 四 圍 的 盾 牌 . 是 我 的 榮 耀 、 又 是 叫 我 抬 起 頭 來 的 。
3:4  我 用 我 的 聲 音 求 告 耶 和 華 、 他 就 從 他 的 聖 山 上 應 允 我 。 〔 細 拉 〕
3:5  我 躺 下 睡 覺 . 我 醒 著 . 耶 和 華 都 保 佑 我 。
3:6  雖 有 成 萬 的 百 姓 來 周 圍 攻 擊 我 、 我 也 不 怕 。
3:7  耶 和 華 阿 、 求 你 起 來 . 我 的   神 阿 、 求 你 救 我 . 因 為 你 打 了 我 一 切 仇 敵 的 腮 骨 、 敲 碎 了 惡 人 的 牙 齒 。
3:8  救 恩 屬 乎 耶 和 華 . 願 你 賜 福 給 你 的 百 姓 。 〔 細 拉 〕

大為王 一生都有很多生死關頭,不但要有勇氣,信心, 膽量,還有神的祝福, 否則不可能熬過這些困境。.以下是曆史背景。

David’s personal strife continued when his son Amnon raped Tamar, Amnon’s half-sister. Absalom, who was David’s son and Tamar’s brother, then killed Amnon. Absalom fled, but David could not stop thinking about him. Finally, Joab convinced David to allow Absalom to return. Absalom was a handsome man and became popular with the people of Israel. Then, 40 years after Samuel had anointed David king, Absalom, along with 200 men, journeyed to Hebron with the intention of rebelling against his father and taking over his kingdom. He had the support of the men of Hebron who were insulted by the removal of the kingdom from Hebron to Jerusalem, the elders whose status was undermined by parts of David’s policy and the Benjamites who wanted to avenge Saul’s family.

David feared that Absalom would return and conquer Jerusalem, so he and all his followers fled the city, leaving only 10 concubines to guard the palace. David told the priests Zadok and Abiathar to remain in the city along with his friend and now spy Hushai the Archite. Meanwhile, Absalom reached Jerusalem, took over the city and slept with David’s concubines. Hushai befriended Absalom, advised him, and told the priests to send messengers informing David of Absalom’s plans. David gathered his troops and then killed 20,000 of Absalom’s Israelite soldiers, including Absalom himself. David returned to power. A second revolt broke out at the hands of Sheba son of Bichri, but with the help of Joab, David succeeded in crushing this rebellion as well, and in killing Sheba.
