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