Deliver Me, O LORD!

1O LORD, how my foes have increased! How many rise up against me!

2Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selah ⁵

3But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.

4To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah

5I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

6I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.

7Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

8Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
