A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.
1O LORD, how my foes have increased!How many rise up against me!
2Many say of me,“God will not deliver him.”Selah+
3But You, O LORD, are a shield around me,my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
4To the LORD I cry aloud,and He answers me from His holy mountain.Selah
5I lie down and sleep;I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
6I will not fear the myriadsset 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.
8Salvation belongs to the LORD;may Your blessing be on Your people.Selah
