1 Lord, how my foes increase!There are many who attack me.
2 Many say about me,“There is no help for him in God.” Selah
3 But You, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts up my head.
4 I cry aloud to the Lord,and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah
5 I lie down and sleep;I wake again because the Lord sustains me.
6 I am not afraid of the thousands of peoplewho have taken their stand against me on every side.
7 Rise up, Lord! Save me, my God!You strike all my enemies on the cheek; You break the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation belongs to the Lord; may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
