¹ GOD! Look! Enemies past counting! Enemies sprouting like mushrooms, ² Mobs of them all around me, roaring their mockery: "Hah! No help for him from God!" ³ But you, GOD, shield me on all sides; You ground my feet, you lift my head high; ⁴ With all my might I shout up to GOD, His answers thunder from the holy mountain. ⁵ I stretch myself out. I sleep. Then I'm up again--rested, tall and steady, ⁶ Fearless before the enemy mobs Coming at me from all sides. ⁷ Up, GOD! My God, help me! Slap their faces, First this cheek, then the other, Your fist hard in their teeth! ⁸ Real help comes from GOD. Your blessing clothes your people!
