1 (A psalm of Dovid, when he fled from Avshalom bno)

2 Hashem, how are they increased that are my foes!

Many are they that rise up against me.

3 Many there be which say of my nefesh,

There is no yeshu’ah for him in Elohim. Selah

4 But Thou, Hashem, art a mogen around me;

my kavod, and the One who lifts up mine head.

5 I cried unto Hashem with my voice,

and He heard me out of His Har Kodesh. Selah

6 I laid me down and slept;

I awaked, for Hashem sustains me.

7 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of am (people),

that have set themselves against me round about.

8 Arise, Hashem; hoshieini (save me), O Elohai;

for Thou hast struck all mine enemies upon the cheekbone;

Thou hast broken the teeth of the resha’im.

9 HaYeshuah (salvation) belongeth unto Hashem;

the Birkhat (blessing) of Thee is upon Thy people. Selah
