| 1 A Psalm of David when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. |
| 2 Many are they who say of me, "There is no help for him in God." Selah |
| 3 But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. |
| 4 I cried to the LORD with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah |
| 5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me. |
| 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me all around. |
| 7 Arise, O LORD; Save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly. |
| 8 Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah |
