Balm to my Soul

O LORD, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
many are saying of my soul,
there is no salvation for him in God.  Selah

But you, O LORD, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cried aloud to the LORD,
and he answered me from his holy hill.  Selah

I lay down and slept;
I woke again for the LORD sustained me.
I will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.

Arise, O LORD!
Save me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you break the teeth of the wicked.

Salvation belongs to the LORD;
your blessing be on your people!  Selah
