1. Lord, HOW they are increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.
2. Many are saying of me, There is no help for him in God. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
3. But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.
4. With my voice I cry to the Lord, and He hears and answers me out of His holy hill. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
5. I lay down and slept; I wakened again, for the Lord sustains me.
6. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about.
7. Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8. Salvation belongs to the Lord; May Your blessing be upon Your people. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
