| 1O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; | 1LORD, I have so many persecutors! Many are rising up against me! |
| 2many are saying of my soul, “There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah | 2Many are saying about me, "God will never deliver him!" Interlude |
| 3But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. | 3But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. |
| 4I cried aloud to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah | 4I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Interlude |
| 5I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me. | 5I lie down and sleep, I wake up, because the LORD sustains me. |
| 6I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around. | 6I will not fear multitudes of people, who set themselves against me on every side. |
| 7Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked. | 7Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! For you strike the jaw of all my enemies, and you break the teeth of the wicked. |
| 8Salvation belongs to the LORD; your blessing be on your people! Selah | 8Deliverance comes from the LORD! May your blessing be on your people. Interlude |
