1 Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.
1 Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!
1 Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me.
2Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. [Selah
2 Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him inGod. Selah.
2Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah.)
3But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory, and the lifter up of my head.
3 But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
3But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.
4I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. [Selah
4 With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah.
4I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah.)
5I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
5I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support.
6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.
6 I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.
6I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me.
7Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
7 Arise, Jehovah; save me, myGod! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
7Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you.
