Save Me, O My God

^{A PSALM OF DAVID, WHEN HE FLED FROM ABSALOM HIS SON.}

¹ O Lord, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;

² many are saying of my soul, “ There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah

³ But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

⁴ I cried aloud to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah

⁵ I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.

⁶ I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all round.

⁷ Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.

⁸ Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing be on your people! Selah
