New Living Translation NLT
1 A psalm of David, when he fled from Avshalom his son: ADONAI, how many enemies I have! How countless are those attacking me;
1
O LORD, I have so many enemies; so many are against me.
2 how countless those who say of me, "There is no salvation for him in God." (Selah)
2
So many are saying, “God will never rescue him!” Interlude
3 But you, ADONAI, are a shield for me; you are my glory, you lift my head high.
3
But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.
4 With my voice I call out to ADONAI, and he answers me from his holy hill. (Selah)
4
I cried out to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy mountain. Interlude
5 I lie down and sleep, then wake up again, because ADONAI sustains me.
5
I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the LORD was watching over me.
6 I am not afraid of the tens of thousands set against me on every side.
6
I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side.
7 Rise up, ADONAI! Save me, my God! For you slap all my enemies in the face, you smash the teeth of the wicked.
7
Arise, O LORD ! Rescue me, my God! Slap all my enemies in the face! Shatter the teeth of the wicked!
8 Victory comes from ADONAI; may your blessing rest on your people. (Selah)
8
Victory comes from you, O LORD . May you bless your people. Interlude
