1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.
2 Adonai, how many are my foes! Many are rising up against me!
3 Many are saying to my soul: “There is no deliverance for him in God.” Selah
4 But You, Adonai, are a shield around me, my glory and the lifter of my head.
5 I cry out to Adonai with my voice, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah
6 I lie down and sleep. I awake—for Adonai sustains me.
