3 Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased!
Many are they that rise up against me.
² Many there are that say ^[a]of my soul,
There is no ^[b]help for him in God. Selah
³ But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me;
My glory, and the lifter up of my head.
⁴ I cry unto Jehovah with my voice,
And he answereth me out of his holy hill. Selah
⁵ I laid me down and slept;
I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.
⁶ I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people
That have set themselves against me round about.
⁷ Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God:
For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone;
Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
^8 [c]Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah:
Thy blessing be upon thy people. Selah
