[A psalme of Dauid when he fled from the face of Absalom his sonne.]
1
O God howe are myne enemies increased?
many do ryse vp against me.
2
Many say of my soule: there is no saluation for it in God.
Selah.
3
But thou O God art a buckler for me: thou art my worship, and the lifter vp of my head.
4
I dyd call vpon God with my voyce, and he hearde me out of his holy hyll.
Selah.
5
I layde me downe and slept: and I rose vp agayne, for God sustayned me.
6
I wyll not be afrayde of ten thousandes of the people: that haue set [them selues] against me rounde about.
7
Arise vp O God, saue thou me O my Lorde: for thou hast smitten all myne enemies vpon the cheeke bone, thou hast broken the teeth of the vngodly.
8
Saluation is of God: thy blessing is vpon thy people.
Selah.
