But this was 1 of many troubles all at the same time.</div> <bR> <div> This short psalm uses the word "many" negatively 4 times (v1 2x, v2 & v6). We should not change what we think is right in order to align with many.</div> <bR> <div> v2 - It is not a small thing for the Lord to lift our head out of depression and anxiety.</div> <bR> <div> v5 - In troubles, we are thankful for little things: being able to sleep at night and wake up in the morning. Every morning we wake because the Lord holds us.</div> <bR> <div> v7 - This 1st line of v7 is the only request in this psalm. The next 2 lines of this verse are what God has done in the past with David.</div> <bR> <div> v8 - The conclusion of this trouble: Your blessing is on Your people. </div> <bR> <div> 1/4/2011 Steve Miller</div> <div> copyright voiceInWilderness.info</div> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" height=355 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#080000"> <div> <B>Psalm 3 </B>A Psalm through David, when he fled from Absalom his son.</div> <div> <I>(tune </I><A HREF="http://www.hymnal.net/hymn.php/h/1058" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.hymnal.net/hymn.php/h/1058"><U><I>#1058 Rock of Ages</I></U></A><I> 7.7.7.7.7.7)</I></div> <div>  <embed src="HTMLobj-646/e1058_RockOfAges.mp3" autostart="true" loop="true" width="145" height="70">  </div> <div> audio file from <A HREF="http://www.hymnal.net" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.hymnal.net"><U>hymnal.net</U></A></div> <bR> <div> 1 LORD, how many trouble me!</div> <div> Many rise up against me.</div> <div> 2 Many saying of my soul,</div> <div> God won't help in his <I>trouble</I>. </div> <div> <I>Many saying of my soul,</I></div> <div> <I>God won't help in his trouble.</I></div> <bR> <div> Selah</div> <bR> <div> 3 Thou, LORD, art a shield for me, </div> <div> Who lifts my head and glory.</div> <div> 4 With my voice, I call to Thee<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >(1)</FONT>,</div> <div> You<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >(2)</FONT> hear from Your<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >(3)</FONT> mount holy.</div> <div> <I>With my voice, I call to Thee.</I></div> <div> <I>You hear from Your mount holy.</I></div> <bR> <div> Selah</div> <bR> <div> 5 I laid down and fell asleep.</div> <div> I woke for the LORD holds me.</div> <div> 6 I'll not fear many people</div> <div> who surround <I>and watch</I> my soul.</div> <div> <I>I'll not fear many people</I></div> <div> <I>who surround and watch my soul.</I></div> <bR> <div> 7 Arise, LORD.
