King David’s song when he was forced to flee from Absalom, his own son The Humbling of a King Lord, I have so many enemies, so many who are against me.
2
Listen to how they whisper their slander against me, saying: “Look! He’s hopeless! Even God can’t save him from this!” — Pause in his presence[1]
3
But in the depths of my heart I truly know that you, Yahweh, have become my Shield; You take me and surround me with yourself.[2] Your glory covers me continually.[3] You lift high my head when I bow low in shame.
4
I have cried out to you, Yahweh, from your holy presence.[4] You send me a Father’s help. — Pause in his presence
5
So now I’ll lie down and sleep like a baby — then I’ll awake in safety, for you surround me with your glory.
6
Even though dark powers prowl[5] around me, I won’t be afraid.
7
I simply cry out to you: “Rise up and help me, Lord! Come and save me!” And you will slap them in the face, breaking the power of their words to harm me.[6]
8
My true hero comes to my rescue, for the Lord alone is my Savior.[7] What a feast of favor and bliss he gives his people! — Pause in his presence
