Confidence in Troubled Times

A Psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.

1Lord, my foes are many!
Many are rising up against me! 2 Many are saying of me,
“There is no help for him in God.”  Selah   3 But You, O Lord, are a shield around me;
my glory, the One who lifts up my head. 4 I call out to the Lord,
and He answers me from His holy hill.  Selah   5 I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, for the Lord sustains me. 6 I will not fear the tens of thousands
arrayed against me on every side.   7 Arise, O Lord!
Deliver me, O my God! For You strike all my enemies on the cheek;
You break the teeth of the wicked.   8 Deliverance comes from the Lord.
May Your blessing be upon Your people!  Selah
