Psalms

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

Deliver Me, O LORD!

2 Samuel 15:13–29

1A Psalm of David, in his fleeing from the face of Absalom his son. Jehovah, how have my distresses multiplied! Many are rising up against me.+ 2Many are saying of my soul, `There is no salvation for him in God.' Selah.+ 3And Thou, O Jehovah, art a shield for me, My honour, and lifter up of my head.+ 4My voice is unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from his holy hill, Selah.+ 5I--I have lain down, and I sleep, I have waked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.+ 6I am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they have set against me.+ 7Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies on the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.+ 8Of Jehovah is this salvation; On Thy people is Thy blessing! Selah.+
