| 1A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. O LORD, how my foes have increased! How many rise up against me! | 1LORD, I have so many persecutors! Many are rising up against me! |
| 2Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selah | 2Many are saying about me, "God will never deliver him!" Interlude |
| 3But You, O LORD, are a shield around 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. |
| 4To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah | 4I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Interlude |
| 5I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me. | 5I lie down and sleep, I wake up, because the LORD sustains me. |
| 6I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side. | 6I will not fear multitudes of people, who set themselves against me on every side. |
| 7Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break 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; may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah | 8Deliverance comes from the LORD! May your blessing be on your people. Interlude |
