Trust in God under Adversity

A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.

1 O LORD, how many are my foes!

Many are rising against me;

2 many are saying to me,

“There is no help for youa in God.” Selah

3 But you, O LORD, are a shield around me,

my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

4 I cry aloud to the LORD,

and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah

5 I lie down and sleep;

I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

6 I am not afraid of ten thousands of people

who have set themselves against me all around.

7 Rise up, O LORD!

Deliver me, O my God!

For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;

you break the teeth of the wicked.

8 Deliverance belongs to the LORD;

may your blessing be on your people! Selah
