1 A psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.
2 How many are my foes, Lord!How many rise against me!
3 How many say of me,“There is no salvation for him in God.”Selah
4 But you, Lord, are a shield around me;my glory, you keep my head high.
5 With my own voice I will call out to the Lord,and he will answer me from his holy mountain.Selah
6 I lie down and I fall asleep,[and] I will wake up, for the Lord sustains me.
7 I do not fear, then, thousands of peoplearrayed against me on every side.
