| 1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. O LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me. | 1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. | 1 [A psalm by David when he fled from his son Absalom.] O LORD, look how my enemies have increased! Many are attacking me. | 1 Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me. | 1 {A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.} Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me! | 2 Many are saying of my soul, "There is no deliverance for him in God." Selah. | 2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. | 2 Many are saying about me, "Even with God [on his side], he won't be victorious." [Selah] | 2 Many there are who say of my soul, "There is no help for him in God." Selah. | 2 Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. Selah. | 3 But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head. | 3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. | 3 But you, O LORD, are a shield that surrounds me. You are my glory. You hold my head high. | 3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. | 3 But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head. | 4 I was crying to the LORD with my voice, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah. | 4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. | 4 I call aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy mountain. [Selah] | 4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah. | 4 With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. Selah. | 5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustains me. | 5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. | 5 I lie down and sleep. I wake up again because the LORD continues to support me. | 5 I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me. | 5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |

For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked. | 7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. | 7 Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! You have slapped all my enemies in the face. You have smashed the teeth of wicked people. | 7 Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked. | 7 Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God!
