1
A psalm of David, when he ran away from the face of Absalom his son. 2 O Jehovah, how are my adversaries multiplied! Many are rising up against me.
2
3 Many are saying of my soul, there is no salvation for him in God. Selah.
3
4 But Thou, O Jehovah, art a shield for me; my glory and He who exalts my head.
4
5 I call to Jehovah with my voice, and He answers me from the mountain of His holiness. Selah.
5
6 I lie down and sleep; I awake; for Jehovah supports me.
6
7 I will not fear myriads of people, who have put themselves against me all around.
7
8 Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: for Thou hast smitten all my enemies upon the jaw; the teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.
8
9 Salvation belongs to Jehovah! Thy blessing upon Thy people. Selah.
