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.
