1 A psalm of David, when he fled from Avshalom his son:
2 Adonai, how many enemies I have!
How countless are those attacking me;
3 how countless those who say of me,
“There is no salvation for him in God.”(Selah)
4 But you,Adonai, are a shield for me;
you are my glory, you lift my head high.
5 With my voice I call out toAdonai,
and he answers me from his holy hill.(Selah)
6 I lie down and sleep, then wake up again,
becauseAdonaisustains me.
7 I am not afraid of the tens of thousands
set against me on every side.
8 Rise up,Adonai!
Save me, my God!
For you slap all my enemies in the face,
you smash the teeth of the wicked.
9 Victory comes fromAdonai;
may your blessing rest on your people.(Selah)
