| LORD, how many adversaries I have! *
how many there are who rise up against me!
|
| 2
| How many there are who say of me, *
"There is no help for him in his God."
|
| 3
| But you, O LORD, are a shield about me; *
you are my glory, the one who lifts up my head.
|
| 4
| I call aloud upon the LORD, *
and he answers me from his holy hill;
|
| 5
| I lie down and go to sleep; *
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
|
| 6
| I do not fear the multitudes of people *
who set themselves against me all around.
|
| 7
| Rise up, O LORD; set me free, O my God; *
surely, you will strike all my enemies across the face,
you will break the teeth of the wicked.
|
| 8
| Deliverance belongs to the LORD. *
Your blessing be upon your people!
