¹ O LORD, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!
² Many are saying of me,
"God will not deliver him."

³ But you are a shield around me,
O LORD;
you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.
⁴ To the LORD I cry aloud,
and he answers me from his holy hill.

⁵ I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
⁶ I will not fear the tens of thousands
drawn up against me on every side.

⁷ Arise, O LORD!
Deliver me, O my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth of the wicked.

⁸ From the LORD comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people.
