1 J ehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!

2 M any say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. Selah.

3 B ut thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

4 W ith my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah.

5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.

6 I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.

7 A rise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

8 S alvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
