1 The Lord Helps His Troubled People A Psalm of David 2 Sam. 15:13–17 when he fled from Absalom his son. Lord , how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.
2 Many are they who say of me, “ There is no help for him in God.” Selah
3 But You, O Lord , are Ps. 5:12; 28:7 a shield for me, My glory and Ps. 9:13; 27:6 the One who lifts up my head.
4 I cried to the Lord with my voice, And Ps. 4:3; 34:4 He heard me from His Ps. 2:6; 15:1; 43:3 holy hill. Selah
5 Lev. 26:6; Ps. 4:8; Prov. 3:24 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.
6 Ps. 23:4; 27:3 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me all around.
7 Arise, O Lord ; Save me, O my God! Job 16:10 For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Ps. 28:8; 35:3; (Is. 43:11) Salvation belongs to the Lord . Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah
