Deliver Me, O LORD! A Psalm of David (beloved), when he fled from his son Absalom (my father is peace). 1 O LORD {YHWH}, how my foes have increased! 2Many say of me, “God {Elohim} will not deliver him.” Selah (Interlude)a 3But You, O LORD {YHWH}, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head. 4To the LORD {YHWH} I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. 5I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD {YHWH} sustains me. 6I will not fear the myriads 7Arise, O LORD {YHWH}! Save me, O my God {Elohay}! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. 8Salvation belongs to the LORD {YHWH}; may Your blessing be on Your people.
