1  O Lord, ^ohow many are my foes!

Many are ^prising against me;

2  many are saying of my soul,

^q“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah¹

3  But you, O Lord, are ^ra shield ^sabout me,

my glory, and ^tthe lifter of my head.

4  I ^ucried aloud to the Lord,

and he ^vanswered me from his ^wholy hill. Selah

5  I ^xlay down and slept;

I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.

6  I ^ywill not be afraid of many thousands of people

who have ^zset themselves against me all around.

7  ^aArise, O Lord!

Save me, O my God!

For you ^bstrike all my enemies on the cheek;

you ^cbreak the teeth of the wicked.

8  ^dSalvation belongs to the Lord;

your blessing be on your people! Selah

5  There they are, in great terror,

^rwhere there is no terror!

For God ^sscatters the bones of him who encamps against you;

you put them to shame, for God has rejected them.

6  Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!

When God restores the fortunes of his people,

let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
