1 psalmus David cum fugeret a facie Abessalon filii sui

2 Domine quid multiplicati sunt qui tribulant me multi insurgunt adversum me

3 multi dicunt animae meae non est salus ipsi in Deo %eius; diapsalma

4 tu autem Domine susceptor meus es gloria mea et exaltans caput meum

5 voce mea ad Dominum clamavi et exaudivit me de monte sancto suo diapsalma

6 ego dormivi et soporatus sum exsurrexi quia Dominus suscipiet me

7 non timebo milia populi circumdantis me exsurge Domine salvum me fac Deus meus

8 quoniam tu percussisti omnes adversantes mihi sine causa dentes peccatorum contrivisti

9 Domini est salus et super populum tuum benedictio tua

Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer

English text

1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me : many are they that rise against me.

2 Many one there be that say of my soul : There is no help for him in his God.

3 But thou, O Lord, art my defender : thou art my worship, and the lifter up of my head.

4 I did call upon the Lord with my voice : and he heard me out of his holy hill.

5 I laid me down and slept, and rose up again : for the Lord sustained me.

6 I will not be afraid for ten thousands of the people : that have set themselves against me round about.

7 Up, Lord, and help me, O my God : for thou smitest all mine enemies upon the cheekbone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord : and thy blessing is upon thy people.

King James Version

1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

1 Ein Psalm Davids, da er floh vor seinem Sohn Absalom.

2 Ach, HERR, wie ist meiner Feinde so viel, und setzen sich so viele wider mich!

3 Viele sagen von meiner Seele: Sie hat keine Hilfe bei Gott. Sela.

4 Aber du, HERR, bist der Schild für mich, und der mich zu Ehren setzet und mein Haupt aufrichtet.

5 Ich rufe an mit meiner Stimme den HERRN, so erhöret er mich von seinem heiligen Berge. Sela.

6 Ich liege und schlafe und erwache; denn der HERR hält mich.

7 Ich fürchte mich nicht vor viel Hunderttausenden, die sich umher wider mich legen.

8 Auf HERR, und hilf mir, mein Gott; denn du schlägst alle meine Feinde auf den Backen und zerschmetterst der Gottlosen Zähne.
