| 1 | {A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.} Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me! |
| 2 | Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. Selah. |
| 3 | But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head. |
| 4 | With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah. |
| 5 | I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me. |
| 6 | I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about. |
| 7 | Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked. |
| 8 | Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. |
