Save Me, O My God
A Psalm of David, #See 2 Sam. 15:14-17when he fled from Absalom his son.
1O Lord, #2 Sam. 15:12 how many are my foes!
Many are #2 Sam. 18:31, 32rising against me;
2many are saying of my soul,

Ps. 71:11; [2 Sam. 16:8] “There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah#3:2 The meaning of the Hebrew word Selah, used frequently in the Psalms, is uncertain. It may be a musical or liturgical direction
3But you, O Lord, are #Ps. 28:7; 84:9; 119:114; Gen. 15:1 a shield #Job 1:10 about me,
my glory, and #Ps. 27:5, 6; [Job 10:15]the lifter of my head.
4I #Ps. 77:1; 142:1 cried aloud to the Lord,
and he #Ps. 34:4; 60:5; 108:6; [Ps. 6:8; 34:6] answered me from his #See Ps. 2:6holy hill. Selah
5I #Ps. 4:8; [Lev. 26:6; Job 11:18, 19; Prov. 3:24]lay down and slept;
I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
6I #[Ps. 23:4; 27:3] will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have #Isa. 22:7; [1 Kgs. 20:12]set themselves against me all around.

Ps. 7:6; 9:19; 10:12; Num. 10:35 Arise, O Lord!
Save me, O my God!
For you #See Job 16:10 strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you #Ps. 58:6; Job 29:17break the teeth of the wicked.

your blessing be on your people! Selah

1A psalm of David, when he fled from Avshalom his son:
2Adonai, how many enemies I have!
How countless are those attacking me;
3how countless those who say of me,
“There is no salvation for him in God.” (Selah)
4But you, Adonai, are a shield for me;
you are my glory, you lift my head high.
5With my voice I call out to Adonai,
and he answers me from his holy hill. (Selah)
6I lie down and sleep, then wake up again,
because Adonai sustains me.
7I am not afraid of the tens of thousands
set against me on every side.
8Rise up, Adonai!
Save me, my God!
For you slap all my enemies in the face,
you smash the teeth of the wicked.
9Victory comes from Adonai;
may your blessing rest on your people. (Selah)
