New King James Version | International 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.” Selah | 2Many 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. 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 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. Selah | 8Deliverance comes from the LORD! May your blessing be on your people. Interlude |
