1[[A Psalm (sacred song about or to God) of David [Beloved], when he fled from Avshalom [My Father is Peace] his son.]] LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], how are they increased that trouble me! many [are] they that rise up against me.

2Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help for him in God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]. Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said].

3But youⁱ, O LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], [are] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

4I cried unto the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said].

5I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] sustained me.

6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set [themselves] against me round about.

7Arise, O LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]; save me, O my God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: for youⁱ have smitten all my enemies [upon] the cheek bone; youⁱ have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8Salvation [belongs] unto the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]: yourⁱ blessing [is] upon yourⁱ people. Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said].
