¹ [Psalm Of David When he was fleeing from his son Absalom] Yahweh, how countless are my enemies, how countless those who rise up against me,

² how countless those who say of me, 'No salvation for him from his God!'Pause

³ But you, Yahweh, the shield at my side, my glory, you hold my head high.

⁴ I cry out to Yahweh; he answers from his holy mountain.Pause

⁵ As for me, if I lie down and sleep, I shall awake, for Yahweh sustains me.

⁶ I have no fear of people in their thousands upon thousands, who range themselves against me wherever I turn.

⁷ Arise, Yahweh, rescue me, my God! You strike all my foes across the face, you break the teeth of the wicked.

⁸ In Yahweh is salvation, on your people, your blessing!Pause
