| 4I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. | 4I cried aloud to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah |
| 5I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. | 5I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me. |
| 6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. | 6I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around. |
| 7Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. | 7Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked. |
| 8Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. | 8Salvation belongs to the LORD; your blessing be on your people! Selah |
