1 Be merciful unto me, O God:for man would swallow me up;he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up:for they be many that fight against me, O thou Most High.
3 What time I am afraid,I will trust in thee.
4 In God I will praise his word,in God I have put my trust;I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5 Every day they wrest my words:all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They gather themselves together,they hide themselves,they mark my steps,when they wait for my soul.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity?In thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8 Thou tellest my wanderings:put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9 When I cry unto thee,then shall mine enemies turn back:this I know; for God is for me.
10 In God will I praise his word:in the Lord will I praise his word.
11 In God have I put my trust:I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God:I will render praises unto thee.
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling,that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
