¹Lord, my enemies have become so many; so many are rebelling against me.[#3:1. Since David is the writer this is clearly a reference to a widespread rebellion against him as king.]

²So many are telling me, “God can't save you!” Selah.

³But you, Lord, are a shield protecting me. You give me victory; you hold my head high.[#3:3. Literally, “you are my glory” which makes little sense in English.]

⁴I cry out to the Lord for help, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Selah.

⁵I lie down to sleep, and in the morning I wake up because the Lord takes care of me.[#3:5. Implied.]

⁶I'm not afraid of tens of thousands who surround me, people who are against me.

⁷Stand up for me, Lord! Save me, my God! Hit all my enemies on the cheek; break the teeth of the wicked!

⁸Salvation belongs to you, Lord; may you be a blessing to your people. Selah.
