¹ I have so many enemies, Lord,
    so many who turn against me!
² They talk about me and say,
    "God will not help him."

³ But you, O Lord, are always my shield from danger;
    you give me victory
    and restore my courage.
⁴ I call to the Lord for help,
    and from his sacred hill^[b] he answers me.

⁵ I lie down and sleep,
    and all night long the Lord protects me.
⁶ I am not afraid of the thousands of enemies
    who surround me on every side.

⁷ Come, Lord! Save me, my God!
You punish all my enemies
    and leave them powerless to harm me.
⁸ Victory comes from the Lord—
    may he bless his people.
