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!
Manyarethey who rise up against me.
2 Manyarethey who say of me,
“Thereisno help for him in God.”
Selah
3 But You, OLord,area shield for me,
# My glory andthe One who lifts up my head.
4 I cried to theLordwith my voice,
# AndHe heard me from Hisholy hill.
Selah
5 I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for theLordsustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have setthemselvesagainst me all around.
7 Arise, OLord;
Save me, O my God!
# For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone;
You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvationbelongsto theLord.
Your blessingisupon Your people.
Selah
