NKJV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New King James VersionInternational Standard Version
1A Psalm of David when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.1LORD, I have so many persecutors! Many are rising up against me!
2Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah2Many are saying about me, "God will never deliver him!" Interlude
3But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.3But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4I cried to the LORD with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah4I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Interlude
5I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained 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 all around.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 struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.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 is upon Your people. Selah8Deliverance comes from the LORD! May your blessing be on your people. Interlude
