¹ Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresses me. ² my enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O you most High. ³ What time 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 flesh can do to me. ⁵ Every day they distort my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. ⁶ They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. ⁷ will they escape by iniquity? in your anger cast down the people, O God. ⁸ you tells my wanderings: put you my tears into your bottle: are they not in your book? ⁹ When I cry unto you, then will my enemies turn back: this I know; for God [is] for me. ¹⁰ In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. ¹¹ In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do to me. ¹² your vows are on me, O God: I will render praises to you. ¹³ For you have delivered my soul from death: will not you deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
