3 Lord, how they have increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise up against me!

2 Many there be that say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah

3 But Thou, O Lord, art a shield for me, my glory and the lifter up of mine head.

4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill. Selah

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people that have set themselves against me round about.

7 Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God! For Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord. Thy blessing is upon Thy people. Selah
