1. A song of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
2. O Lord, how many have my adversaries become! Great men rise up against me.
3. Great men say concerning my soul, "He has no salvation in God to eternity."
4. But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory and He Who raises up my head.
5. With my voice, I call to the Lord, and He answered me from His holy mount to eternity.
6. I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord will support me.
7. I will not fear ten thousands of people, who have set themselves against me all around.
8. Arise, O Lord, save me, my God, for You have struck all my enemies on the cheek; You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
9. It is incumbent upon the Lord to save, and it is incumbent upon Your people to bless You forever.
