Morning Prayer of Trust in God.
A Psalm of David. When he fled from Absalom his son.
1 O Loʀᴅ, how my enemies have increased!
Many are rising up against me.
2 Many are saying of me,
“There is no help [no salvation] for him in God.” Selah.
3 But You, O Loʀᴅ, are a shield for me,
My glory [and my honor], and the One who lifts my head.
4 With my voice I was crying to the Loʀᴅ,
And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.
5 I lay down and slept [safely];
I awakened, for the Loʀᴅ sustains me.
6 I will not be intimidated or afraid of the ten thousands
Who have set themselves against me all around.
7 Arise, O Loʀᴅ; save me, O my God!
For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek;
You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation belongs to the Loʀᴅ;
May Your blessing be upon Your people. Selah.
