2 Those who anticipate my defeat attack me all day long.Indeed, many are fighting against me, O Exalted One.
3 When I am afraid,I trust in you.
4 In God – I boast in his promise – in God I trust, I am not afraid.What can mere men do to me?
5 All day long they cause me trouble;they make a habit of plotting my demise.
6 They stalk and lurk;they watch my every step,as they prepare to take my life.
7 Because they are bent on violence, do not let them escape!In your anger bring down the nations, O God!
8 You keep track of my misery.Put my tears in your leather container!Are they not recorded in your scroll?
