| 1A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. O LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me. | 1LORD, I have so many persecutors! Many are rising up against me! |
| 2Many are saying of my soul, "There is no deliverance for him in God." Selah. | 2Many are saying about me, "God will never deliver him!" Interlude |
| 3But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head. | 3But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. |
| 4I was crying to the LORD with my voice, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah. | 4I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Interlude |
| 5I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustains me. | 5I lie down and sleep, I wake up, because the LORD sustains me. |
| 6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about. | 6I will not fear multitudes of people, who set themselves against me on every side. |
| 7Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God! For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked. | 7Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! For you strike the jaw of all my enemies, and you break the teeth of the wicked. |
| 8Salvation belongs to the LORD; Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah. | 8Deliverance comes from the LORD! May your blessing be on your people. Interlude |
