A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. ¹ O LORD, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are rising up against me. ² Many are saying of my soul,
“There is no deliverance for him in God.” Selah. ³ But You, O LORD, are a shield about me,
My glory, and the One who lifts my head. ⁴ I was crying to the LORD with my voice,
And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah. ⁵ I lay down and slept;
I awoke, 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 smitten all my enemies on the cheek;
You have shattered the teeth of the wicked. ⁸ Salvation belongs to the LORD;
Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah.
