1. A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom O Jehovah, how my adversaries have multiplied! Many are the ones who rise against me.
2. Many are saying of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. Selah.
3. But You, O Jehovah, are a shield around me; my glory, and He who lifts up my head.
4. I cried to Jehovah with my voice, and He heard me out of His holy mountain. Selah.
5. I laid down, and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah kept me.
6. I am not afraid of myriads of people who have been set against me all around.
7. Arise, O Jehovah! Save me, O my God. For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8. Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Your blessing is on Your people. Selah.
