A Psalm of David, * when he fled from Absalom his son.

1Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

3 But thou, O Lord,art a shield ∥ for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

5* I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.

6* I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

7 Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8* Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
