"Safety From Enemies" is what Psalm 3 is all about.
There are many editorial comments from different translations of the Bible - however the following sub-title "A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son." is part of scripture and doesn't change across the translations.
"Selah" is used throughout the Psalms and means to pause or praise.
After verses 1-2, is the word Selah, and then in verse 3 David shifts his focus from his enemies to God.
Taking moments to pause allows God to speak to us.
God answers our prayers in His perfect timing. (Yes, No, Wait)
In this Psalm, God answered David's prayers.
1) David slept (no anxiety)
2) David woke up (was not killed in his sleep)
3) David is not afraid. (confident in God's protection/plan)
David also had compassion on his enemies, forgiving them.
