- 1The Lord, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
- 2Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah.
- 3But you, the Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
- 4I cry to the Lord with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.
- 5I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for the Lord sustains me.
- 6I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
- 7Arise, the Lord! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
- 8Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing be on your people. Selah.
