1 A song of David telling about the time he was running from his son Absalom. Lord, I have so many enemies. So many people have turned against me.
2 They say to themselves, "God will not rescue him!" Selah
3 But you, Lord, protect me. You bring me honor; you give me hope.
4 I will pray to the Lord, and he will answer me from his holy mountain. Selah
5 I can lie down to rest and know that I will wake up, because the Lord covers and protects me.
6 So I will not be afraid of my enemies, even if thousands of them surround me.
7 Lord, get up! My God, come rescue me! If you hit my enemies on the cheek, you will break all their teeth.
8 Lord, the victory is yours! You are so good to your people. Selah
