¹A psalm of David. He wrote it when he ran away from his son Absalom.
LORD, I have so many enemies!
So many people rise up against me! ²Many people say about me,
"God will not save him."
Selah ³But you, LORD, are a shield all around me.
You are my glory.
You are the One who lifts up my head. ⁴I cry out loud to the LORD.
He answers me from his holy mountain.
Selah ⁵I lie down and sleep.
I wake up again, for the LORD keeps me going. ⁶I will not be afraid of the many thousands
who are set against me on every side. ⁷Get up, LORD! Save me, my God!
Hit all my enemies on the jaw.
Break the teeth of the wicked. ⁸Salvation belongs to the LORD.
May your blessing be on your people.
Selah
