1 LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!
1
<The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.> (3:1)
2 Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.”
2
Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
3 But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
3
But thou, O Lord, art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 I call out to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain.
4
I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
5
I have slept and have taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
6 I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.
6
I will not fear thousands of the people surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
7 Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
7
For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
8 From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.
8
Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
