Deliver me, O Lord

(2 Samuel 15:13-29)
1
The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.
2
Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
3
Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
4
But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
5
I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
6
I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
7
I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
8
For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
9
Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.

Deliver me, O Lord

(2 Samuel 15:13-29)
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.”(a) 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.
7
Arise, LORD! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8
Salvation belongs to the LORD. May your blessing be on your people. Selah.
