1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
2 O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;
3 many are saying of me, there is no help for him in God. [Selah]
4 But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.
5 I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy hill. [Selah]
6 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
