1The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.
2(3-3) Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' Selah
2Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.

5I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
6(3-7) I am not afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
6I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
7(3-8) Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
7I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
8(3-9) Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. Selah
8For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
