Psalms 3:4
2 Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selah
3 But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah
5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
6 I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
