1 O Lord, how my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me.

Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!

2 M any are saying of my soul, “There is no deliverance for him in God.” Selah.

Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. Selah.

3 B ut You, O Lord, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head.

But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

4 I was crying to the Lord with my voice, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.

With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah.

5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustains me.

I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about.

I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.

7 A rise, O Lord; save me, O my God! For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.

Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

8 S alvation belongs to the Lord; Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah.

Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
