              1 LORD, I have so many enemies! So many are standing against me.
            
            
                1
LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!            
            
              2 So many are talking about me: "Even God won't help him."    Selah
            
            
                2
Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.”            
            
              3 But you, LORD, are my shield! You are my glory! You are the one who restores me.
            
            
                3
But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.            
            
              4 I cry out loud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain.     Selah
            
            
                4
I call out to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain.            
            
              5 I lie down, sleep, and wake up because the LORD helps me.
            
            
                5
I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.            
            
              6 I won't be afraid of thousands of people surrounding me on all sides.
            
            
                6
I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.            
            
              7 Stand up, LORD! Save me, my God! In fact, hit all my enemies on the jaw; shatter the teeth of the wicked!
            
            
                7
Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.            
            
              8 Rescue comes from the LORD! May your blessing be on your people!     Selah
            
            
                8
From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.
