1 LORD, how my adversaries have increased!

Many are those who rise up against me.

2 Many there are who say of my soul,

"There is no help for him in God." Selah.

3 But you, LORD, are a shield around me,

my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

4 I cry to the LORD with my voice,

and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.

5 I laid myself down and slept.

I awakened; for the LORD sustains me.

6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people

who have set themselves against me on every side.
