Deliver me, O Lord

(2 Samuel 15:13-29)
1
A Psalme of Dauid, when he fled from his sonne Absalom. Lord, howe are mine aduersaries increased? howe many rise against me?
2
Many say to my soule, There is no helpe for him in God. Selah.
3
But thou Lord art a buckler for me: my glory, and the lifter vp of mine head.
4
I did call vnto the Lord with my voyce, and he heard me out of his holy mountaine. Selah.
5
I layed me downe and slept, and rose vp againe: for the Lord susteined me.
6
I will not be afrayde for ten thousand of the people, that should beset me round about.
7
O Lord, arise: helpe me, my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies vpon the cheeke bone: thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8
Saluation belongeth vnto the Lord, and thy blessing is vpon thy people. Selah.
