Morning Prayer of Trust in God.

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

1 O LORD, how my adversaries have increased!
         Many are rising up against me.
2 Many are saying of my soul,
         “There is no deliverance for him in God.”
Selah.

3 But You, O LORD, are a shield about me,
         My glory, and the One who lifts my head.
4 I was crying to the LORD with my voice,
         And He answered me from His holy mountain.
Selah.

5 I lay down and slept;
         I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
         Who have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God!
         For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek;
         You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD;
         Your blessing be upon Your people!
Selah.
