1Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are 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.
1The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.
2Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
2Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah.)
2Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
3But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
3But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.
3Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
4I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
4I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah.)
4But thou, O Lord, art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
5I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
5I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support.
5I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of 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.
6I have slept and have taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
7Arise, 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.
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.
7I will not fear thousands of the people surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
