A Psalm of David, when he fled from the presence of his son Absalom. O Lord, why are they that afflict me multiplied? Many rise up against me.

Many say concerning my soul, There is no deliverance for him in his God. Pause.

You have caused men to ride over our heads; we went through the fire and water; but You brought us out into [a place of] refreshment.

I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants on the earth.
