A Psalm
of David,
when he fled
from
Absalom
his son.
LORD,
how are they increased
that trouble
me! many
are they that rise up
against me.
Many
there be which say
of my soul,
There is no help
for him in God.
Selah.
But thou, O LORD,
art a shield
for me; my glory,
and the lifter up
of mine head.
I cried
unto the LORD
with my voice,
and he heard
me out of his holy
hill.
Selah.
I laid me down
and slept;
I awaked;
for the LORD
sustained
me.
I will not be afraid
of ten thousands
of people,
that have set
themselves against me round about.
Arise,
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.
Salvation
belongeth unto the LORD:
thy blessing
is upon thy people.
Selah.
