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.
