Psalm 3: You Lift My Head

✝️ Psalm 3: A Song of Deliverance and Trust

"But You, O Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head." — Psalm 3:3

This is a Psalm of David, written when he fled from his own son, Absalom. It’s a cry from the heart — a song of danger, fear, and ultimately faith in God's protection and salvation.

🎵 Song Title: “You Lift My Head (Psalm 3)”

🎯 Theme:

A song for the weary, afraid, and overwhelmed — declaring that God is our shield, our rest, and the One who lifts us up in the darkest moments.

🎶 Lyrics (Based directly on Psalm 3:1–8)

Verse 1 (Psalm 3:1–2)

Lord, how many rise against me,

Enemies surround me endlessly.

Many are saying, “God won’t save,”

But I know You’re near — I call Your name.

Chorus (Psalm 3:3–4)

But You, O Lord, are a shield for me,

My glory and the lifter of my head.

I cried aloud, You answered me

From Your holy mountain, You rescued me.

Verse 2 (Psalm 3:5–6)

I lay down and I slept in peace,

I awoke — the Lord sustained me.

I will not fear ten thousand foes,

Surrounding me — still I know…

Chorus (Repeat)

You, O Lord, are a shield for me,

My glory and the lifter of my head.

I cried aloud, You answered me

From Your holy mountain, You rescued me.

Bridge (Psalm 3:7–8)

Arise, O Lord! Deliver me!

Strike down the lies, break every enemy.

Salvation belongs to You alone —

Your blessing upon Your people flows.

Final Chorus

You, O Lord, are a shield for me,

My glory and the lifter of my head.

I rest in You, my strength, my song —

Forever in Your arms I belong.
