The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
1 LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!
1
A psalm of David, when he fled from Avshalom his son: ADONAI, how many enemies I have! How countless are those attacking me;
2 Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.”
2
how countless those who say of me, "There is no salvation for him in God." (Selah)
3 But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
3
But you, ADONAI, are a shield for me; you are my glory, you lift my head high.
4 I call out to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain.
4
With my voice I call out to ADONAI, and he answers me from his holy hill. (Selah)
5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
5
I lie down and sleep, then wake up again, because ADONAI sustains me.
6 I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.
6
I am not afraid of the tens of thousands set against me on every side.
7 Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
7
Rise up, ADONAI! Save me, my God! For you slap all my enemies in the face, you smash the teeth of the wicked.
8 From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.
8
Victory comes from ADONAI; may your blessing rest on your people. (Selah)
