Trust in God under Adversity

A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.
¹ O Lord, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
² many are saying to me,
‘There is no help for you^* in God.’
Selah
³ But you, O Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
⁴ I cry aloud to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy hill.
Selah
⁵ I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.
