1 Y ahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

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

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

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

3 B ut you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

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

4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.

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

5 I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.

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

6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.

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

7 A rise, 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.

Rise 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 S alvation belongs to Yahweh. Your blessing be on your people. Selah.

It is You Who saves, O Lord. May You bring happiness to Your people.
