3 O
Lord, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
many are saying of my soul,
there is no salvation for him in God.
Selah
But you, O
Lord, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cried aloud to the
Lord,
and he
vanswered me from his holy hill.
Selah
I woke again, for the
Lord sustained me.
I will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you break the teeth of the wicked.
Salvation belongs to the
Lord;
your blessing be on your people!
Selah
