Deliver me, O Lord

(2 Samuel 15:13-29)
1
A Psalme of Dauid, when he fled from his sonne Absalom. Lord, howe are mine aduersaries increased? howe many rise against me?
2
Many say to my soule, There is no helpe for him in God. Selah.
3
But thou Lord art a buckler for me: my glory, and the lifter vp of mine head.
4
I did call vnto the Lord with my voyce, and he heard me out of his holy mountaine. Selah.
5
I layed me downe and slept, and rose vp againe: for the Lord susteined me.
6
I will not be afrayde for ten thousand of the people, that should beset me round about.
7
O Lord, arise: helpe me, my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies vpon the cheeke bone: thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8
Saluation belongeth vnto the Lord, and thy blessing is vpon thy people. Selah.

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.
