Yahweh, Save Me

A Psalm of David. When [†]he fled from Absalom his son.

1O Yahweh, how my adversaries have become many!

Many are rising up against me.

2Many are saying [†]of my soul,

“There is no salvation for him in God.” [†]Selah.

3But You, O Yahweh, are a shield about me,

My glory, and the One who lifts my head.

4I was calling to Yahweh with my voice,

And He answered me from His holy [†]mountain. Selah.

5[†]I lay down and slept;

I awoke, for Yahweh sustains me.

6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people

Who all around have set themselves against me.

7Arise, O Yahweh; save me, O my God!

For You have struck all my enemies on the [†]cheek;

You [†]have shattered the teeth of the wicked.

8[†]Salvation belongs to Yahweh;

Your blessing [†]be upon Your people! Selah.
