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 wrest 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 Shall they escape by iniquity? in your anger cast down the people, O God.8 You tell my wanderings: put you my tears into your bottle: are they not in your book?9 When I cry to you, then shall 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?
1 Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up. Fighting daily, he oppresses me.2 My enemies have panted after me daily; for they are many who proudly fight against me.3 When I am afraid I trust in You.4 In God (I praise His Word), in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.5 All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.6 They stir up strife; they hide themselves; they watch my steps as they lie in wait for my soul.7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God!8 You have kept an account of my wanderings; O put my tears into Your bottle; are they not in Your Book.9 When I cry out, then my enemies shall be turned back. This I know, for God is with me.10 In God (I praise His Word); in Jehovah (I praise His Word);11 In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid of what man can do to me.12 Your vows are upon me, O God; I will give thanks unto You,13 for You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
