| 1. | {A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.} Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me. |
| 2. | Many there are who say of my soul, "There is no help for him in God{The Hebrew word rendered "God" is "Elohim."}." Selah. |
| 3. | But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. |
| 4. | I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah. |
| 5. | I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me. |
| 6. | I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side. |
| 7. | Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked. |
| 8. | Salvation belongs to Yahweh. Your blessing be on your people. Selah. |
