1 Be gracious to me, O God, because humankind has trampled me; fighting all the day he oppresses me.
2 My enemies trample all day, because many are attacking me proudly.
3 When I fear, I trust you.
4 God, whose word I praise, God I trust; I do not fear. What can mere flesh do to me?
5 All day they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They attack, they hide, they watch my steps, as they lie in wait for my life.
7 Because of iniquity will they escape? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
