1 A Psalm{H4210} of David{H1732}, when he fled{H1272}{(H8800)} from{H6440} Absalom{H53} his son{H1121}. LORD{H3068}, how are they increased{H7231}{(H8804)} that trouble{H6862} me! many{H7227} are they that rise up{H6965}{(H8801)} against me.

2 Many{H7227} there be which say{H559}{(H8802)} of my soul{H5315}, There is no help{H3444} for him in God{H430}. Selah{H5542}.

3 But thou, O LORD{H3068}, art a shield{H4043} for me; my glory{H3519}, and the lifter up{H7311}{(H8688)} of mine head{H7218}.

4 I cried{H7121}{(H8799)} unto the LORD{H3068} with my voice{H6963}, and he heard{H6030}{(H8799)} me out of his holy{H6944} hill{H2022}. Selah{H5542}.

5 I laid me down{H7901}{(H8804)} and slept{H3462}{(H8799)}; I awaked{H6974}{(H8689)}; for the LORD{H3068} sustained{H5564}{(H8799)} me.

6 I will not be afraid{H3372}{(H8799)} of ten thousands{H7233} of people{H5971}, that have set{H7896}{(H8804)} themselves against me round about{H5439}.

7 Arise{H6965}{(H8798)}, O LORD{H3068}; save{H3467}{(H8685)} me, O my God{H430}: for thou hast smitten{H5221}{(H8689)} all mine enemies{H341}{(H8802)} upon the cheek bone{H3895}; thou hast broken{H7665}{(H8765)} the teeth{H8127} of the ungodly{H7563}.

8 Salvation{H3444} belongeth unto the LORD{H3068}: thy blessing{H1293} is upon thy people{H5971}. Selah{H5542}.
