many are saying of my soul,
    (A)“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah[a]

But you, O Lord, are (B)a shield (C)about me,
    my glory, and (D)the lifter of my head.
I (E)cried aloud to the Lord,
    and he (F)answered me from his (G)holy hill. Selah

I (H)lay down and slept;
    I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
I (I)will not be afraid of many thousands of people
    who have (J)set themselves against me all around.
