| 1O LORD, I have so many enemies; so many are against me. | 1O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; |
| 2So many are saying, “God will never rescue him!” Interlude | 2many are saying of my soul, “There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah |
| 3But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. | 3But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. |
| 4I cried out to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy mountain. Interlude | 4I cried aloud to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah |
| 5I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the LORD was watching over me. | 5I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me. |
| 6I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side. | 6I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around. |
| 7Arise, O LORD! Rescue me, my God! Slap all my enemies in the face! Shatter the teeth of the wicked! | 7Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked. |
| 8Victory comes from you, O LORD. May you bless your people. Interlude | 8Salvation belongs to the LORD; your blessing be on your people! Selah |
