A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.
1
[a]
LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!
2
Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.”
[b]
3
But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
4
I call out to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain.
5
I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
6
I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.
7
Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
8
From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.
