1 A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.Lord, how my adversaries have increased!Many are those who rise up against me.2 Many there are who say of my soul,"There is no help for him in God."Selah.3 But you, Lord, are a shield around me,my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.4 I cry to the Lord with my voice,and he answers me out of his holy hill.Selah.5 I laid myself down and slept.I awakened; for the Lord sustains me.6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of peoplewho have set themselves against me on every side.
