1 Be gracious to me, O God, for man would crush me;all day long he who battles oppressesme.
2 All day long my enemies would crush me,for there are many who arrogantly battle against me.
3 In the day when I am afraid,I will trust in You.
4 In God whose word I praise,in God I have trusted; I will not fear.What can mere flesh do to me?
5 Every day they twist my words;all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They stir up strife, they lurk,they watch my steps,when they wait for my life.
7 Should there be deliverance for them on account of wickedness?In Your anger cast down the peoples, O God.
8 You take account of my wandering;put my tears in Your bottle;are they not in Your book?
9 In the day I cry to You,then my enemies will turn back;this I know, that 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 a man do to me?
12 Your vows are on me, O God;I will complete them with thank offerings to You;
13 for You have delivered my soul from death,even my feet from stumbling,to walk before Godin the light of the living.
