A Psalm of David when he fled from Absalom his son.
1	LORD, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.
2	Many are they who say of 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 thousands of people Who have set themselves against me all around.
7	Arise, O LORD; Save me, O my God! For You have struck all 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
