  1. 1

    The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.

  2. 2

    Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? Many are they who rise up against me.

  3. 3

    Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.

  4. 4

    But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

  5. 5

    I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.

  6. 6

    I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.

  7. 7

    I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.

  8. 8

    For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.

    Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
