2So many are telling me, “God can't save you!” Selah.

4I cry out to the Lord for help, and he answers me from his holy mountain. Selah.
5I lie down to sleep, and in the morning#3:5. Implied. I wake up because the Lord takes care of me.
6I'm not afraid of tens of thousands who surround me, people who are against me.
