A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
JEHOVAH, how are they increased that trouble me I many are they that rise up against me.
Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in Elohim: Selah.
But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
I cried unto Jehovah with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for Jehovah sustained me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my Elohim: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
3.-A morning anticipation; 1, 2 many troubles, but 3 Jehovah is for me, 4, 5 he was, so, 6, 7 he will be; 8 deliverance is of him.;
3-8. Faith in individuals (or in a company of such) here below-a standard of walk having been raised before them (Psa. 1), and (Psa. 2) Messiah known as exalted, though earth-rejected-is learning what its own place is amid failure and trials down here but in dependence upon Jehovah.
