Psalms 3:6
4 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.
I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.
7 Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
