| | 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 | |
