Psalms

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

Deliver Me, O LORD!

2 Samuel 15:13–29

1O LORD, how my foes have increased! How many rise up against me!+ 2Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selah+ 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+
