A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased!
Many are they that rise up against me.
Many there are that say {Or, to}of my soul,
There is no {Or, salvation}help for him in God.
[Selah
But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me;
My glory and the lifter up of my head.
I cry unto Jehovah with my voice,
And he answereth me out of his holy hill. [Selah
I laid me down and slept;
I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people
That have set themselves against me round about.
Arise, O Jehovah; Save me, O my God:
For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone;
Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
{Or, Victory}Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah:
Thy blessing be upon thy people.
[Selah
