1The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.
1O LORD, how my foes have increased! How many rise up against me!
2Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
2Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selah
3Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
3But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
4But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah
5I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
5I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
6I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
6I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.
7I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
7Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
8For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
8Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
9Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
