The Book of Psalms

[A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom] O Jehovah, how my adversaries have multiplied! Many [are] the ones who rise against me.

Many are saying of my soul, [There is] no salvation for him in God. Selah.

But You, O Jehovah, [are] a shield around me; my glory and He who lifts up my head.

I cried to Jehovah with my voice, and He heard me out of His holy mountain. Selah.

I am not afraid of myriads of people who have been set against me all around.

Arise, O Jehovah! Save me, O my God. For You have struck all my enemies [on] the cheekbone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

Salvation [belongs] to Jehovah. Your blessing [is] on Your people. Selah.
