1 L ord, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.

2 M any are they who say of me, “ There is no help for him in God.” Selah

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

4 I cried to the Lord with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah

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

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

7 A rise, O Lord; Save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8 S alvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah
