A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

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

大卫的诗，是在逃避他儿子押沙龙时作的。*除特别注明外，诗篇开首细字的标题在《马索拉文本》都属于第1节，原文的第2节即是译文的第1节，依次类推。1 耶和华啊！我的仇敌竟然这么多。

起来攻击我的竟然那么多。

2 有很多人议论我说：

"他从　神那里得不到救助。"

*细拉

3 耶和华啊！你却是我周围的盾牌，

是我的荣耀，是使我抬起头来的。

4 我发声向耶和华呼求的时候，

他就从他的圣山上回答我。

*细拉

5 我躺下，我睡觉，

我醒来，都因耶和华在扶持着我。

6 虽有千万人包围攻击我，

我也不怕。

7 耶和华啊！求你起来；

我的　神啊！求你拯救我，

你击打了我所有仇敌的脸颊，

打碎了恶人的牙齿。

8 救恩属于耶和华，

愿你赐福给你的子民。*细拉
