Thou Oh Lord Art A Shield (Psalm 3)

Good evening all, I know it's been a while, but I assure you I am back and ready to get back on track with where I left you all.

Without fail, life brings it's ups and downs, and what you do with the 'downs' in your life really define you (I think). Psalm 3 is one of those powerful psalms that helps pick you up when you are feeling down, so as The LORD reminded me of this, I wanted to share the words of this psalm with you - prayerfully read/meditate on these words:
---------

LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
 
Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
 
I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
 
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
 
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.
 
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
