The Lord Helps His Troubled People

A Psalm of David when he fled from Absalom his son.

1 Lord, how they have increased who trouble me!
Many are they who rise up against me.

2 Many are they who say of me,
“There is no help for him in God.” Selah

3 But You, O Lord, are ^aa shield for me,
My glory and ^bthe One who lifts up my head.

4 I cried to the Lord with my voice,
And ^aHe heard me from His ^bholy hill. Selah

5 ^aI lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.

6 ^aI will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me all around.

7 Arise, O Lord;
Save me, O my God!
^aFor You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone;
You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8 ^aSalvation belongs to the Lord.
Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah
