[1] A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. [2] O LORD, how
many are my foes! Many are rising against me; [3] many are saying of me,
there is no help for him in God. [Selah] [4] But thou, O LORD, art a shield
about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. [5] I cry aloud to the LORD,
and he answers me from his holy hill. [Selah] [6] I lie down and sleep; I
wake again, for the LORD sustains me. [7] I am not afraid of ten thousands
of people who have set themselves against me round about. [8] Arise, O
LORD! Deliver me, O my God! For thou dost smite all my enemies on the
cheek, thou dost break the teeth of the wicked. [ (Psalms 3:9) Deliverance
belongs to the LORD; thy blessing be upon thy people! [Selah] ]
