LORD, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.

2 Many are they who say to me, "There is no help for him in God "               Selah.

3 But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head.

4 I cried to the LORD with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill.               Selah

5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousand of people who have set themselves against me all around.

7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God! For You have struck my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8 Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon Your people.                    Selah PSALM 3
