The verses around Psalms 3:3.
1Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
Verse explanation
After describing the sheer number of enemies, the contrast comes: God is compared to a shield that protects, and also to the One who lifts the head of someone humbled, restoring an honor that seemed lost.
From the Psalms 3 study in Bible in Stories.
