| 1LORD, I have so many persecutors! Many are rising up against me! | 1A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom. LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! |
| 2Many are saying about me, "God will never deliver him!" Interlude | 2Many are saying of me, "God will not deliver him." |
| 3But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. | 3But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. |
| 4I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Interlude | 4I call out to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. |
| 5I lie down and sleep, I wake up, because the LORD sustains me. | 5I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me. |
| 6I will not fear multitudes of people, who set themselves against me on every side. | 6I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side. |
| 7Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! For you strike the jaw of all my enemies, and you break the teeth of the wicked. | 7Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. |
| 8Deliverance comes from the LORD! May your blessing be on your people. Interlude | 8From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people. |
