Psalms 3 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
 JV McGee
This is a morning psalm. It is the song of a soul in grave peril as a new day dawns. The consciousness of difficulty is first uttered. Adversaries are increased, and the bitterest part of the pain is that they mock him, declaring, There is no help for him in God. Immediately succeeding, are the words that tell of the sufferer's confidence, and its reason. The LORD is at once a "Shield," and "Glory," and "Lifter up." Between this man and The LORD communion is established-"I cry," and "He answereth."

Then follows the language of courage. He has "slept" and "awaked," Out of these circumstances of peril, a consciousness of the constancy of the divine love has always been the strength of the trusting soul amid circumstances of the greatest peril.
