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.
Many there be which say
of my soul
, There is no help
for him in God
. Selah
.
But thou, O LORD, art a shield
for me; my glory
, and the lifter up
of mine head
.
I cried unto the LORD
with my voice
, and he heard
me out of his holy
hill
. Selah
.
I laid me down and slept
; I awaked
; for the LORD
sustained
me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands
of people
, that have set
themselves against me round about
.
Arise, O LORD
; save
me, O my God
: for thou hast smitten
all mine enemies
upon the cheek bone
; thou hast broken
the teeth
of the ungodly
.
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD
: thy blessing
is upon thy people
. Selah
.
