Psalms

¹LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me. ²Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah. ³But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. ⁴I cry to the LORD with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah. ⁵I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for the LORD sustains me. ⁶I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side. ⁷Arise, LORD! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked. ⁸Salvation belongs to the LORD. May your blessing be on your people. Selah.
