1
A psalm of David, regarding the time David fled from his son Absalom. O LORD, I have so many enemies; so many are against me.
2
So many are saying, “God will never rescue him!” Interlude [6]
3
But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.
4
I cried out to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy mountain. Interlude
5
I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the LORD was watching over me.
6
I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side.
7
Arise, O LORD! Rescue me, my God! Slap all my enemies in the face! Shatter the teeth of the wicked!
8
Victory comes from you, O LORD. May you bless your people. Interlude
