Many are saying of me,
    “God will not deliver him.(A)[a]

But you, Lord, are a shield(B) around me,
    my glory, the One who lifts my head high.(C)
I call out to the Lord,(D)
    and he answers me from his holy mountain.(E)

I lie down and sleep;(F)
    I wake again,(G) because the Lord sustains me.
I will not fear(H) though tens of thousands
    assail me on every side.(I)

Arise,(J) Lord!
    Deliver me,(K) my God!
Strike(L) all my enemies on the jaw;
    break the teeth(M) of the wicked.
