13  Happy are they all *
 who take refuge in him!
 
 
Psalm 3  Domine, quid multiplicati
 
1  LORD, how many adversaries I have! *
 how many there are who rise up against me!
 
2  How many there are who say of me, *
 "There is no help for him in his God."
 
3  But you, O LORD, are a shield about me; *
 you are my glory, the one who lifts up my head.
 
4  I call aloud upon the LORD, *
 and he answers me from his holy hill;
 
5  I lie down and go to sleep; *
 I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
 
6  I do not fear the multitudes of people *
 who set themselves against me all around.
 
7  Rise up, O LORD; set me free, O my God; *
 surely, you will strike all my enemies across the face,
 you will break the teeth of the wicked.
 
8  Deliverance belongs to the LORD. *
 Your blessing be upon your people!
 
 
Psalm 4  Cum invocarem
 
1  Answer me when I call, O God, defender of my cause; *
 you set me free when I am hard-pressed;
 have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
