Deliver me, O Lord
(2 Samuel 15:13-29)
1
Yahweh, I have many enemies! There are many people who oppose me.
2
Many people are saying about me, “God will certainly not help him.”
3
But Yahweh, you are like a shield that protects me. You greatly honor me, and you encourage me.
4
I cry out to you, Yahweh, and you answer me from Zion, your sacred hill.
5
At night I lay down and slept, and I woke up in the morning because you, Yahweh, took care of me all during the night.
6
There may be thousands of enemy soldiers who surround me, but I am not afraid.
7
Yahweh, arise! My God, come and rescue me again! You will insult my enemies by slapping them on their cheeks; when you strike them, you will destroy their power, with the result that they cannot hurt anyone.
8
Yahweh, you are the one who saves your people from their enemies. Yahweh, bless your people!
