[A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.]
But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cry aloud to the LORD,
and he answers me from his holy hill. [Selah]
I lie down and sleep; I wake again,
for the LORD sustains me.
I am not afraid of ten thousands of people
who have set themselves against me round about.
Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God!
For thou dost smite all my enemies on the cheek,
thou dost break the teeth of the wicked.
Deliverance belongs to the Lord;
thy blessing be upon thy people!
