O LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! 1
Many are saying of me, "God will not deliver him." 2
But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head. 3
To the LORD I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill. 4
I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me. 5
I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side. 6
Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. 7
From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people. 8
