Psalm 3 expresses feelings of despair and fear in the face of enemies. However, it also conveys a strong sense of trust in God. The main theme is the psalmist’s faith that despite present difficulties, God will ultimately hear their prayers, protect them, and grant them victory. It highlights the power of prayer and reliance on God even in troubled times.
