1 Lord, how many are my foes! 1 How many rise up against me!
2 Many are saying of me, 2 "God will not deliver him."[a]
3 But you, Lord, are a shield around me, 3 my glory, the one who lifts my head high.
4 I call out to the Lord, 4 and he answers me from his holy mountain.
5 I lie down and sleep; 5 I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
6 I will not fear though tens of thousands 6 assail me on every side.
7 Arise, Lord! 7 Deliver me, my God! 7 Strike all my enemies on the jaw; 7 break the teeth of the wicked.
8 From the Lord comes deliverance. 8 May your blessing be on your people.
