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.
