1. I have so many enemies, Lord,so many who turn against me!
2. They talk about me and say,“God will not help him.”
3. But you, O Lord, are always my shield from danger;you give me victoryand restore my courage.
4. I call to the Lord for help,and from his sacred hill he answers me.
5. I lie down and sleep,and all night long the Lord protects me.
6. I am not afraid of the thousands of enemieswho surround me on every side.
7. Come, Lord! Save me, my God!You punish all my enemiesand leave them powerless to harm me.
