✧A Psalms of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. O LORD, how my foes have increased! How many rise up against me! ✧2Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selah ✧3But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head. ✧4To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah ✧5I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me. ✧6I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side. ✧7Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike 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
