Whole chapter discussed by Augustine of Hippo —
Deliver Me, O LORD!
(2 Samuel 15:13–29)
A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.
1O LORD, how my foes have increased!
How many rise up against me!
2Many say of me,
“God will not deliver him.”
Selah
3But You, O LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the One who lifts my head.
4To the LORD I cry aloud,
and He answers me from His holy mountain.
Selah
5I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
6I will not fear the myriads
set against me on every side.
7Arise, O LORD!
Save me, O my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth of the wicked.
8Salvation belongs to the LORD;
may Your blessing be on Your people.
Selah
