A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.
1 O LORD, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
2 many are saying to me,
“There is no help for you in God.”Selah
3 But you, O LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 I cry aloud to the LORD,
and he answers me from his holy hill.Selah
5 I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
6 I am not afraid of ten thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.
7 Rise up, O LORD!
Deliver me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you break the teeth of the wicked.
8 Deliverance belongs to the LORD;
may your blessing be on your people!Selah
