1 Senhor, como tem crescido o número dos meus adversários!

São numerosos os que se levantam contra mim.

2 São muitos os que dizem de mim:

Não há em Deus salvação para ele.

3 Porém tu, Senhor, és o meu escudo,

és a minha glória e o que exaltas a minha cabeça.

4 Com a minha voz clamo ao Senhor,

e ele do seu santo monte me responde.

5 Deito-me e pego no sono;

acordo, porque o Senhor me sustenta.

6 Não tenho medo de milhares do povo

que tomam posição contra mim de todos os lados.

7 Levanta-te, Senhor!

Salva-me, Deus meu,

pois feres nos queixos a todos os meus inimigos

e aos ímpios quebras os dentes.

8 Do Senhor é a salvação,

e sobre o teu povo, a tua bênção.

1 Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased!

Many are they that rise up against me.

2 Many there are that say of my soul,

There is no help for him in God. [Selah

3 But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me;

My glory, and the lifter up of my head.

4 I cry unto Jehovah with my voice,

And he answereth me out of his holy hill. [Selah

5 I laid me down and slept;

I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people

That have set themselves against me round about.

7 Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God:

For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone;

Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

8 Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah:

Thy blessing be upon thy people. [Selah

1 LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!

2 Many are saying of me, "God will not deliver him." [^1]

3 But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.

4 I call out to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain.

5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.

6 I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.

7 Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

8 From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.
