1Yahweh, how many are my enemies;
many are rising against me.
2Many are saying about my soul,
“There is no deliverance for him fromb God. Selahc
3Butc you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory and the one who lifts up my head.
4With my voice I call to Yahweh
and he answers me from his holy hill.d Selah
5I lay down and slept;
I woke up because Yahweh sustains me.
6I am not afraid of the ten thousands of people
who all around have set themselves against me.
7Rise up, O Yahweh; deliver me, O my God;
for you strike all my enemies on the cheek.
The teeth of the wicked you break.
8To Yahweh belongs deliverance;
may your blessing be over your people. Selah

Lord, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!
Many are saying of me,
“God will not deliver him.”
But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
I call out to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.
I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
I will not fear though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.
Arise, Lord!
Deliver me, my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth of the wicked.
From the Lord comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people.

KJV 1900King James Version
Lord, How are they increased that trouble me!
Many are they that rise up against me.
Many there be which say of my soul,
There is no help for him in God. Selah.
But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me;
My glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
I cried unto the Lord with my voice,
And he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
I laid me down and slept;
I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people,
That have set themselves against me round about.
Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God:
For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone;
Thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
Salvation belongeth unto the Lord:
Thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
