If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;
Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet.
A Psalm. Of David. When he went in flight from Absalom his son. Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me.
Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
The sinners are watching the upright man, desiring to put him to death.
In God will I give praise to his word; in the Lord will I give praise to his word.
