Morning Prayer of Trust in God.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.
3 Lord, how (A)my enemies have increased!
Many are rising up against me.
2 Many are saying of my soul,
“There is no (B)salvation for him in God.” Selah
3 But You, Lord, are (C)a shield around me,
My (D)glory, and the One who (E)lifts my head.
4 I was crying out to the Lord with my voice,
And He (F)answered me from (G)His holy mountain. Selah
5 I (H)lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the Lord sustains me.
6 I will (I)not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have (J)set themselves against me all around.
7 (K)Arise, Lord; (L)save me, my God!
For You have (M)struck all my enemies on the cheek;
You have (N)shattered the teeth of the wicked.
8 (O)Salvation belongs to the Lord;
May Your (P)blessing be upon Your people! Selah
