Yahweh,
how my adversaries have increased!
Many
are those who rise up against me.
Many
there are who say of my soul,
“There
is no help for him in God.”
But
you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my
glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
I
cry to Yahweh with my voice,
and
he answers me out of his holy hill.
I
laid myself down and slept.
I
awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.
I
will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people
who
have set themselves against me on every side.
Arise,
Yahweh!
Save
me, my God!
For
you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone.
You
have broken the teeth of the wicked.
Salvation
belongs to Yahweh.
May
your blessing be on your people.
