Save Me, O My God
A Psalm of David, nwhen he fled from Absalom his son.
1O Lord, ohow many are my foes!
Many are prising against me;
2many are saying of my soul,
q“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah1
3But you, O Lord, are ra shield sabout me,
my glory, and tthe lifter of my head.
4I ucried aloud to the Lord,
and he vanswered me from his wholy hill. Selah
5I xlay down and slept;
I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
6I ywill not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have zset themselves against me all around.
7aArise, O Lord!
Save me, O my God!
For you bstrike all my enemies on the cheek;
you cbreak the teeth of the wicked.
8dSalvation belongs to the Lord;
your blessing be on your people! Selah
