International Standard Version

1 LORD, I have so many persecutors! Many are rising up against me!

2 Many are saying about me, “God will never deliver him!” Interlude

3 But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

4 I cry aloud ^a to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Interlude

5 I lie down and sleep, I wake up, because the LORD sustains me.

6 I will not fear multitudes of ^b people, who set themselves against me on every side.

7 Arise, LORD! Deliver me, my God! For you strike the jaw of all my enemies, and you break the teeth of the wicked.

8 Deliverance comes from the LORD! May your blessing be on your people. Interlude
