But You, Lord, are (A)a shield around me,
My (B)glory, and the One who (C)lifts my head.
I was crying out to the Lord with my voice,
And He (D)answered me from (E)His holy [a]mountain. Selah
[b]I (F)lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the Lord sustains me.
I will (G)not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have (H)set themselves against me all around.

(I)Arise, Lord; (J)save me, my God!
For You [c]have (K)struck all my enemies on the [d]cheek;
You [e]have (L)shattered the teeth of the wicked.
[f](M)Salvation belongs to the Lord;
May Your (N)blessing [g]be upon Your people! Selah
