| 1 | [A psalm by David when he fled from his son Absalom.] O LORD, look how my enemies have increased! Many are attacking me. | O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; | A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom. LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! | |
| 2 | Many are saying about me, |Even with God [on his side], he won't be victorious.| [Selah] | many are saying of my soul, “There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah | Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.” | |
| 3 | But you, O LORD, are a shield that surrounds me. You are my glory. You hold my head high. | But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. | But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. | |
| 4 | I call aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. [Selah] | I cried aloud to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah | I call out to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. | |
| 5 | I lie down and sleep. I wake up again because the LORD continues to support me. | I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me. | I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me. | |
| 6 | I am not afraid of the tens of thousands who have taken positions against me on all sides. | I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around. | I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side. | |
| 7 | Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! You have slapped all my enemies in the face. You have smashed the teeth of wicked people. | Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked. | Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. | |
| 8 | Victory belongs to the LORD! May your blessing rest on your people. [Selah] | Salvation belongs to the LORD; your blessing be on your people! Selah | From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people. | |
