- A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
- 1
- LORD, how are they increased that trouble me!
many are they that rise up against me.
- 2
- Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God.
Selah.
- 3
- But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
- 4
- I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill.
Selah.
- 5
- I laid me down and slept;
I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
- 6
- I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
- 7
- 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.
- 8
- Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people.
Selah.
