Verse 1 is found in chapter 3 of Psalms. Psalm 3 is a prayer spoken in the midst of threat and persecution. David begins by describing the multiplication of his adversaries, but gradually shifts attention from the number of enemies to God as his shield, glory, and sustainer. Nighttime rest becomes especially significant: even surrounded by danger, the petitioner can lie down because he recognizes that his ultimate security does not depend on military superiority, but on the presence of the Lord.
