3 But You, OLord,are(B)a shield[a]for me,
My glory and(C)the One who lifts up my head.

And(D)He heard me from His(E)holy hill.Selah

I awoke, for theLordsustained me.

Who have setthemselvesagainst me all around.

Save me, O my God!
(H)For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone;
You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
