1 Brenton A Psalm of David, when he fled from the presence of his son Abessalom. O Lord, why are they that afflict me multiplied? many rise up against me. BSB BSB: A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. O LORD, how my foes have increased! How many rise up against me!
2 Brenton Many say concerning my soul, There is no deliverance for him in his God. Pause. BSB BSB: Many say of me, “God will not deliver him.” Selah
3 Brenton But thou, O Lord, art my helper: my glory, and the one that lifts up my head. BSB BSB: But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
4 Brenton I cried to the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy mountain. Pause. BSB BSB: To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah
5 Brenton I lay down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord will help me. BSB BSB: I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
6 Brenton I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, who beset me round about. BSB BSB: I will not fear the myriads set against me on every side.
7 Brenton Arise, Lord; deliver me, my God: for thou hast smitten all who were without cause mine enemies; thou hast broken the teeth of sinners. BSB BSB: Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
8 Brenton Deliverance is the Lord's, and thy blessing is upon thy people. BSB BSB: Salvation belongs to the LORD; may Your blessing be on Your people. Selah
