Deliver Me, O LORD!

(2 Samuel 15:13–29)

1A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.

O LORD, how my foes have increased!

How many rise up against me!

2Many say of me,

“God will not deliver him.”

Selah

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

my glory, and the One who lifts my head.

4To the LORD I cry aloud,

and He answers me from His holy mountain.

Selah

5I lie down and sleep;

I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

6I will not fear the myriads

set against me on every side.

7Arise, O LORD!

Save me, O my God!

Strike all my enemies on the jaw;

break the teeth of the wicked.

8Salvation belongs to the LORD;

may Your blessing be on Your people.

Selah
