1LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise up against me. 2Many there are [be} who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

3But Thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. 4I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and He heard me out of His holy hill. Selah. 5I lay {laid me} down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. 6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, who have set themselves against me round about.

7Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. 8Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing is upon Thy people. Selah.
