1 O Lord, how many are they who hate me! How many rise up against me!

2 M any are saying of me, “There is no help for him in God.”

3 B ut You, O Lord, are a covering around me, my shining-greatness, and the One Who lifts my head.

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

5 I lay down and slept, and I woke up again, for the Lord keeps me safe.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who stand all around against me.

7 R ise up, O Lord! Save me, O my God! For You have hit on the face all those who hate me, and you have broken the teeth of the sinful.

8 I t is You Who saves, O Lord. May You bring happiness to Your people.
