1 Yahweh, 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, Yahweh, are a shield around me,

my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice,

and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.

5 I laid myself down and slept.

I awakened, for Yahweh sustains me.

6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people

who have set themselves against me on every side.

7 Arise, Yahweh!

Save me, my God!

For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone.

You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

8 Salvation belongs to Yahweh.

May your blessing be on your people. Selah.

1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! Many [are] they that rise up against me.

2 [There are] many who say of my soul, [There] is no help for him in God. Selah.

3 But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory and the lifter up of my head.

4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and [he] answered me out of the mountain of his holiness. Selah.

5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for the LORD sustained me.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people that have set [themselves] against me round about.

7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God, for thou hast smitten all mine enemies [upon] the jawbone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8 Salvation [belongs] unto the LORD; thy blessing [shall be] upon thy people. Selah.:
