    assail me on every side.^(J)

    Deliver me,^(L) my God!
Strike^(M) all my enemies on the jaw;
    break the teeth^(N) of the wicked.

⁸ From the Lord comes deliverance.^(O)
    May your blessing^(P) be on your people.

² How long will you people turn my glory^(U) into shame?^(V)
    How long will you love delusions and seek false gods^[d]?^[e](W)
3 Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant^(X) for himself;
    the Lord hears^(Y) when I call to him.

    when you are on your beds,^(AA)
    search your hearts and be silent.

    and trust in the Lord.^(AB)

    Let the light of your face shine on us.^(AC)

    when their grain and new wine^(AF) abound.

⁸ In peace^(AG) I will lie down and sleep,^(AH)
    for you alone, Lord,
    make me dwell in safety.^(AI)
