1: Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me. 2: Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah.) 3: But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head. 4: I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah.) 5: I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support. 6: I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me. 7: Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you. 8: Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah.)
