| 1 | Lord, how they are increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. |
| 2 | Many are saying of me, There is no help for him in God.
Selah
[pause, and calmly think of that]! |
| 3 | But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. |
| 4 | With my voice I cry to the Lord, and He hears and answers me out of His holy hill.
Selah
[pause, and calmly think of that]! |
| 5 | I lay down and slept; I wakened again, for the Lord sustains me. |
| 6 | I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about. |
| 7 | Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly. |
| 8 | Salvation belongs to the Lord; May Your blessing be upon Your people.
Selah
[pause, and calmly think of that]! |
