1 {A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.} Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!

1 מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִ֑ד בְּ֝בָרְחֹ֗ו מִפְּנֵ֤י׀ אַבְשָׁלֹ֬ום בְּנֹֽו׃

2 Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. Selah.

2 יְ֭הוָה מָֽה־רַבּ֣וּ צָרָ֑י רַ֝בִּ֗ים קָמִ֥ים עָלָֽי׃

3 But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

3 רַבִּים֮ אֹמְרִ֪ים לְנַ֫פְשִׁ֥י אֵ֤ין יְֽשׁוּעָ֓תָה לֹּ֬ו בֵֽאלֹהִ֬ים סֶֽלָה׃

4 With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah.

4 וְאַתָּ֣ה יְ֭הוָה מָגֵ֣ן בַּעֲדִ֑י כְּ֝בֹודִ֗י וּמֵרִ֥ים רֹאשִֽׁי׃

5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.

5 קֹ֭ולִי אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָ֑א וַיַּֽעֲנֵ֨נִי מֵהַ֖ר קָדְשֹׁ֣ו סֶֽלָה׃

6 I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.

6 אֲנִ֥י שָׁכַ֗בְתִּי וָֽאִ֫ישָׁ֥נָה הֱקִיצֹ֑ותִי כִּ֖י יְהוָ֣ה יִסְמְכֵֽנִי׃

7 Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

7 לֹֽא־אִ֭ירָא מֵרִבְבֹ֥ות עָ֑ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר סָ֝בִ֗יב שָׁ֣תוּ עָלָֽי׃

8 Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

8 ק֘וּמָ֤ה יְהוָ֨ה׀ הֹושִׁ֘יעֵ֤נִי אֱלֹהַ֗י כִּֽי־הִכִּ֣יתָ אֶת־כָּל־אֹיְבַ֣י לֶ֑חִי שִׁנֵּ֖י רְשָׁעִ֣ים שִׁבַּֽרְתָּ׃
