Deliver me, O Lord

(2 Samuel 15:13-29)
1
The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.
2
Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
3
Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
4
But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
5
I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
6
I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
7
I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
8
For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
9
Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
