Deliver Me, O Lord!
A Psalms of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.
1O Lord, how my foes have increased!How many rise up against me!2Many say of me,“God will not deliver him.”Selah 3:2FootnoteSelah or Interlude is probably a musical or literary term; here and throughout the Psalms.3But You, O Lord, are a shield around me,my glory, and the One who lifts my head.4To the Lord I cry aloud,and He answers me from His holy mountain.Selah5I lie down and sleep;I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.6I will not fear the myriadsset against me on every side.
7Arise, O Lord!Save me, O my God!Strike all my enemies on the jaw;break the teeth of the wicked.8Salvation belongs to the Lord;may Your blessing be on Your people.Selah
