Many are they increased that troubled me
Many are they that rise up against me
Many there be which say of my soul
There is no help for him in God

But thou, oh, Lord, are a shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head
Thou, oh, Lord, are shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head

I cried unto the Lord with my voice
And He heard me out of His holy hill
I laid me down and slept and awaked
For the Lord sustained, for He sustained me

Thou, oh, Lord, are a shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head
Thou, oh, Lord, are shield for me
My glory and the lifter of my head
