1 O lord, I have so many enemies;so many are against me.
2 So many are saying,“God will never rescue him!”Interlude
3 But you, O lord, are a shield around me;you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.
4 I cried out to the lord,and he answered me from his holy mountain.Interlude
5 I lay down and slept,yet I woke up in safety,for the lord was watching over me.
6 I am not afraid of ten thousand enemieswho surround me on every side.
7 Arise, O lord!Rescue me, my God!Slap all my enemies in the face!Shatter the teeth of the wicked!
8 Victory comes from you, O lord.May you bless your people.Interlude
