1A Psalm of David, when he fled from the presence of his son Abessalom. O Lord, why are they that afflict me multiplied? many rise up against me.
1Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2Many say concerning my soul, There is no deliverance for him in his God. Pause.
2Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3But you, O Lord, are my helper: my glory, and the one that lifts up my head.
3But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4I cried to the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy mountain. Pause.
4I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5I lay down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord will help me.
5I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, who beset me round about.
6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7Arise, Lord; deliver me, my God: for you have struck all who were without cause my enemies ; you have broken the teeth of sinners.
7Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8Deliverance is the Lord's, and your blessing is upon your people.
8Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
