A Psalm[H4210] of David[H1732], when he fled[H1272]from[H6440]Absalom[H53] his son[H1121]. LORD[H3068], how are they increased[H7231] that trouble[H6862] me! many[H7227] are they that rise up[H6965] against me.
2Many[H7227] there be which say[H559] of my soul[H5315], There is no help[H3444] for him in God[H430]. Selah[H5542].
3
But thou, O LORD[H3068], art a shield[H4043] for me; my glory[H3519], and the lifter up[H7311] of mine head[H7218].
4
I cried[H7121] unto the LORD[H3068] with my voice[H6963], and he heard[H6030] me out of his holy[H6944]hill[H2022]. Selah[H5542].
5
I laid me down[H7901] and slept[H3462]; I awaked[H6974]; for the LORD[H3068]sustained[H5564] me.
6
I will not be afraid[H3372] of ten thousands[H7233] of people[H5971], that have set[H7896] themselves against me round about[H5439].
7Arise[H6965], O LORD[H3068]; save[H3467] me, O my God[H430]: for thou hast smitten[H5221] all mine enemies[H341] upon the cheek bone[H3895]; thou hast broken[H7665] the teeth[H8127] of the ungodly[H7563].
8Salvation[H3444] belongeth unto the LORD[H3068]: thy blessing[H1293] is upon thy people[H5971]. Selah[H5542].
