| 1LORD, how my foes increase! There are many who attack me. | 1A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom. LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! |
| 2Many say about me, "There is no help for him in God." Selah | 2Many are saying of me, "God will not deliver him." |
| 3But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. | 3But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. |
| 4I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Selah | 4I call out to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. |
| 5I lie down and sleep; I wake again because the LORD sustains me. | 5I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me. |
| 6I will not be afraid of thousands of people who have taken their stand against me on every side. | 6I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side. |
| 7Rise up, LORD! Save me, my God! You strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked. | 7Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. |
| 8Salvation belongs to the LORD; may your blessing be on your people. Selah | 8From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people. |
