Morning Prayer of Trust in God

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


[1]	JEHOVAH, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.
[2]	Many there are that say of 1 my soul, There is no help 2 for him in God. [Selah
[3]	But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory, and the lifter up of my head.
[4]	I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. [Selah
[5]	I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Jehovah sustaineth me.
[6]	I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.
[7]	Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
[8]	Salvation 3 belongeth unto Jehovah: Thy blessing be upon thy people. [Selah
