1 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

7 Arise, 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.

8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

1 A Psalm of David, in his fleeing from the face of Absalom his son. Jehovah, how have my distresses multiplied! Many are rising up against me.

2 Many are saying of my soul, `There is no salvation for him in God.` Selah.

3 And Thou, O Jehovah, [art] a shield for me, My honour, and lifter up of my head.

4 My voice [is] unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from his holy hill, Selah.

5 I -- I have lain down, and I sleep, I have waked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.

6 I am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they have set against me.

7 Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies [on] the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.

8 Of Jehovah [is] this salvation; On Thy people [is] Thy blessing! Selah.
