Jehova quam multi sunt hostes mei [Lord, how are they increased that trouble me] (Psalm 3:1-8) – Henry Purcell Posted on May 19, 2013 Posted in Purcell, Henry (1659-1695) Henry Purcell (1659–1695) Image via Wikipedia Psalm 3:1-8 [Latin] 1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. 2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. 3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. 4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. 5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. 7 Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. 8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people.
