1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they multiplied that trouble me? many [are] they that rise up against me.
A Psalme of Dauid, when he fled from his sonne Absalom. Lord, howe are mine aduersaries increased? howe many rise against me?
2 Many [there are] who say of my soul, [There is] no help for him in God. (Selah)
Many say to my soule, There is no helpe for him in God. (Selah)
3 But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
But thou Lord art a buckler for me: my glory, and the lifter vp of mine head.
4 I cried to the LORD with my voice, and he heard me from his holy hill. (Selah)
I did call vnto the Lord with my voyce, and he heard me out of his holy mountaine. (Selah)
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
I layed me downe and slept, and rose vp againe: for the Lord susteined me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set [themselves] against me on all sides.
I will not be afrayde for ten thousand of the people, that should beset me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all my enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
O Lord, arise: helpe me, my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies vpon the cheeke bone: thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation [belongeth] to the LORD: thy blessing [is] upon thy people. (Selah)
Saluation belongeth vnto the Lord, and thy blessing is vpon thy people. (Selah)
