A psalm of David, regarding the time David fled from his son Absalom.
1 OLord, I have so many enemies;
so many are against me.
2 So many are saying,
“God will never rescue him!”
Interlude
3 But you, OLord, are a shield around me;
you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.
4 I cried out to theLord,
and he answered me from his holy mountain.
Interlude
5 I lay down and slept,
yet I woke up in safety,
for theLordwas watching over me.
6 I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies
who surround me on every side.
7 Arise, OLord!
Rescue me, my God!
Slap all my enemies in the face!
Shatter the teeth of the wicked!
8 Victory comes from you, OLord.
May you bless your people.
Interlude
