1 O Lord! why have they who afflicted me multiplied? Many are risen up against me 2 Many say respecting my life, In this God of his he hath no safety. 3 But Thou, O Lord, art my protector; my glory, and the lifter up of my head. 4 With my voice I cried to the Lord, and from His holy mount He heard me. 5 I laid me down to rest and slept — I awoke. Because the Lord will protect me, 6 I will not be afraid of myriads of people — of them who are besetting me round about. 7 Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God! Because Thou hast smitten all them, who foolishly were mine enemies — hast broken the teeth of sinners: 8 this deliverance is the Lord's: let Thy blessing be upon Thy people also.
