Psalms

A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.

Deliver Me, O LORD!

2 Samuel 15:13–29

1Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.+ 2Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah.+ 3But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.+ 4I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.+ 5I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.+ 6I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.+ 7Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.+ 8Salvation belongs to Yahweh. Your blessing be on your people. Selah.+
