The LORD Helps His Troubled People

LORD, how they have increased who

trouble me !

Many are they who rise up against me.

Many are they who say of me,

" There is no help for him in God . "

But You, O LORD, are a shield for me,

My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

I cried to the LORD with my voice,

And He heard me from His holy hill.

I lay down and slept;

I awoke, for  the LORD sustained me.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people.

Who have set themselves against me all around.

Arise, O LORD;

Save me, O my God!

For You have struck all my enemies

on the cheekbone;

You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

Salvation belongs to the LORD.

Your blessing is upon Your people
