Psalm

A melody of David when he was running away on account of Abʹsa·lom his son.^*1

¹ O Jehovah, why have my adversaries become many? Why are many rising up against me?

² Many are saying of my soul: “There is no salvation for him by God.”^*1 Seʹlah.^*2

“By God.” Heb., vEʼ·lo·himʹ, pl. to denote excellence or majesty. See Ge 1:1 ftn, “God.”
“Selah.” A Heb. technical term used in music or recitation. The meaning is uncertain.

³ And yet you, O Jehovah, are a shield about me, My glory and the One lifting up my head.

⁴ With my voice I shall call to Jehovah himself, And he will answer me from his holy mountain.^*1 Seʹlah.

⁵ As for me, I will lie down that I may sleep; I shall certainly awake, for Jehovah himself keeps supporting me.

⁶ I shall not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves in array against me round about.

⁷ Do arise, O Jehovah! Save me, O my God! For you will have to strike all my enemies on the jaw. The teeth of wicked ones you will have to break.

⁸ Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Your blessing is upon your people. Seʹlah.
