1 Yahweh! how have mine adversaries multiplied, Multitudes, are rising against me;
2 Multitudes, are saying of my soul,—No salvation for him in God. [Selah.]
3 But, thou, Yahweh, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 With my voice—unto Yahweh, do I cry, and he hath answered me out of his holy mountain. [Selah.]
5 I, laid me down and slept,—I awoke, Surely, Yahweh, sustaineth me!
6 I will not be afraid of myriads of people, who, round about, have set themselves against me.
7 Rise! Yahweh, Save me, my God. Surely thou hast smitten all my foes on the cheekbone, The teeth of the lawless, hast thou broken.
8 To Yahweh, belongeth Salvation! Upon thy people, be thy blessing. [Selah.]

Today's Verse
Ye are of `your' father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
Verse Of The DayThe chapter's turning point comes when David says he lay down, slept, and awoke because the LORD sustained him, a picture echoed later in Psalms 4. It closes by declaring that salvation and blessing belong to the LORD, a phrase paralleled in Psalms 27:6.
