1 Lord, how my foes increase!

There are many who attack me. # 3:1 2Sm 15:12; Ps 69:4

“There is no help for him in God.” # 3:2 Ps 22:7–8; 71:11 Selah

3But you, Lord, are a shield around me, # 3:3 Gn 15:1; Dt 33:29; Ps 5:12; 18:2; 28:7; 119:114

my glory, # 3:3 Ps 62:7 and the one who lifts up my head. # 3:3 Ps 110:7

and he answers me from his holy mountain. # 3:4 Ps 2:6; 43:3; 48:1 Selah

I wake again because the Lord sustains me. # 3:5 Lv 26:6; Ps 4:8; Pr 3:24

Save me, my God!

You strike all my enemies on the cheek; # 3:7 Jb 16:10; Mc 5:1

you break the teeth of the wicked. # 3:7 Ps 58:6

8Salvation belongs to the Lord; # 3:8 Jnh 2:9; Rv 7:10; 19:1

may your blessing be on your people. # 3:8 Dt 26:15 Selah
