1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Yahweh, how are my adversaries increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

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

3 But you, O Yahweh, are a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head.

4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice, And he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.

5 I laid myself down and slept; I awakened; For Yahweh sustains me.

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