1 Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up;Fighting all day he oppresses me.
2 My enemies would hound me all day,For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.
3 Whenever I am afraid,I will trust in You.
4 In God (I will praise His word),In God I have put my trust;I will not fear.What can flesh do to me?
5 All day they twist my words;All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They gather together,They hide, they mark my steps,When they lie in wait for my life.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity?In anger cast down the peoples, O God!
8 You number my wanderings;Put my tears into Your bottle;Are they not in Your book?
9 When I cry out to You,Then my enemies will turn back;This I know, because God is for me.
10 In God (I will praise His word),In the Lord (I will praise His word),
11 In God I have put my trust;I will not be afraid.What can man do to me?
12 Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God;I will render praises to You,
13 For You have delivered my soul from death.Have You not kept my feet from falling,That I may walk before GodIn the light of the living?
