Deliver me, O Lord
							
																								
								(2 Samuel 15:13-29)							
																								
								1
								
									 LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
								
							 
																								
								2
								
									Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.”(a)  Selah.
								
							 
																								
								3
								
									But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
								
							 
																								
								4
								
									I cry to the LORD with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.
								
							 
																								
								5
								
									I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for the LORD sustains me.
								
							 
																								
								6
								
									I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
								
							 
																								
								7
								
									Arise, LORD! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
								
							 
																								
								8
								
									Salvation belongs to the LORD. May your blessing be on your people. Selah.
