| 1O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; | 1A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. O LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me. |
| 2many are saying of my soul, “There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah | 2Many are saying of my soul, "There is no deliverance for him in God." Selah. |
| 3But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. | 3But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head. |
| 4I cried aloud to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah | 4I was crying to the LORD with my voice, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah. |
| 5I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me. | 5I lay down and slept; I awoke, for 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 be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about. |
| 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, O LORD; save me, O my God! For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked. |
| 8Salvation belongs to the LORD; your blessing be on your people! Selah | 8Salvation belongs to the LORD; Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah. |
