1 Be merciful to me, O God,because I am under attack;my enemies persecute me all the time.
2 All day long my opponents attack me.There are so many who fight against me.
3 When I am afraid, O Lord Almighty,I put my trust in you.
4 I trust in God and am not afraid;I praise him for what he has promised.What can a mere human being do to me?
5 My enemies make trouble for me all day long;they are always planning how to hurt me!
6 They gather in hiding placesand watch everything I do,hoping to kill me.
7 Punish them, O God, for their evil;defeat those people in your anger!
