Psalms 3:3

"But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me;

My glory, and the lifter up of my head.

I cry unto Jehovah with my voice,

And he answereth me out of his holy hill. (Selah)"

The Psalmist here expressed confidence that the Lord had indeed heard his cry and answered his prayer from "his holy hill," this, from Jerusalem where God had recorded his name and where, in time, the temple would be built. There is a marked similarity here to the prayer of Jonah who also mentioned God's answer as coming from the temple (Jonah 2:7).
