1 Be gracious to me, God, for man tramples me;he fights and oppresses me all day long.
2 My adversaries trample me all day,for many arrogantly fight against me.
3 When I am afraid,I will trust in You.
4 In God, whose word I praise,in God I trust; I will not fear.What can man do to me?
5 They twist my words all day long;all their thoughts against me are evil.
6 They stir up strife, they lurk;they watch my stepswhile they wait to take my life.
7 Will they escape in spite of such sin?God, bring down the nations in wrath.
8 You Yourself have recorded my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle.Are they not in Your records?
9 Then my enemies will retreat on the day when I call. This I know: God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise,in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11 in God I trust; I will not fear.What can man do to me?
12 I am obligated by vows to You, God;I will make my thank offerings to You.
13 For You delivered me from death,even my feet from stumbling,to walk before God in the light of life.
