1 God, have mercy on me because I’m being trampled.All day long the enemy oppresses me.
2 My attackers trample me all day longbecause I have so many enemies.Exalted one,
3 whenever I’m afraid,I put my trust in you—
4 in God, whose word I praise.I trust in God; I won’t be afraid.What can mere flesh do to me?
5 All day long they frustrate my pursuits;all their thoughts are evil against me.
6 They get together and set an ambush—they are watching my steps,hoping for my death.
7 Don’t rescue them for any reason!In wrath bring down the people, God!
8 You yourself have kept track of my misery.Put my tears into your bottle—aren’t they on your scroll already?
9 Then my enemies will retreat when I cry out.I know this because God is mine.
10 God: whose word I praise.The Lord: whose word I praise.
11 I trust in God; I won’t be afraid.What can anyone do to me?
12 I will fulfill my promises to you, God.I will present thanksgiving offerings to you
13 because you have saved my life from death,saved my feet from stumblingso that I can walk before God in the light of life.
