1 {A Psalm of David when he fled from the face of Absalom} LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise against me.
2 Many ones there be that say of my soul, "There is no help for him in his God." Selah.
3 But thou, O LORD, art my defender; thou art my worship, and the lifter up of my head.
4 I did call upon the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept, and rose up again; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid for ten thousands of the people that have set themselves against me.
7 Arise, LORD, and help me, O my God: for thou smitest all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
