| Third Millennium Bible (TMB) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 <> LORD, how they have increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise up against me! | 1 O LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! |
| 2 Many there be that say of my soul, "There is no help for him in God." Selah | 2 Many are saying of me, "God will not deliver him." "Selah" |
| 3 But Thou, O LORD, art a shield for me, my glory and the lifter up of mine head. | 3 But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head. |
| 4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill. Selah | 4 To the LORD I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill. "Selah" |
| 5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for the LORD sustained me. | 5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me. |
| 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people that have set themselves against me round about. | 6 I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side. |
| 7 Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. | 7 Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. |
| 8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD. Thy blessing is upon Thy people. Selah | 8 From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people. "Selah" |
