Morning Prayer of Trust in God.
A Psalm of David, when [a]he fled from his son Absalom.
3
Lord, how my enemies have increased!Many are rising up against me.
2 Many are saying of my soul,
“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah
3 But You, Lord, are a shield around me,
My glory, and the One who lifts my head.
4 I was crying out to the Lord with my voice,
And He answered me from His holy [b]mountain. Selah
5 [c]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 all around.
7 Arise, Lord; save me, my God!
For You [d]have struck all my enemies on the [e]cheek;
You [f]have shattered the teeth of the wicked.
8 [g]Salvation belongs to the Lord;
May Your blessing [h]be upon Your people! Selah
