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
