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 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.
