13Happy are they all *
who take refuge in him!

3Domine, quid multiplicati

1Lord, how many adversaries I have! *
how many there are who rise up against me!

2How many there are who say of me, *
“There is no help for him in his God.”

3But you, O Lord, are a shield about me; *
you are my glory, the one who lifts up my head.

4I call aloud upon the Lord, *
and he answers me from his holy hill;

5I lie down and go to sleep; *
I wake again, because the Lordsustains me.

6I do not fear the multitudes of people *
who set themselves against me all around.

7Rise up, O Lord; set me free, O my God; *
surely, you will strike all my enemies across the face,
you will break the teeth of the wicked.

8Deliverance belongs to the Lord. *
Your blessing be upon your people!

4Cum invocarem

1Answer me when I call, O God, defender of my cause; *
you set me free when I am hard-pressed;
have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

Psalms 3, 4587
