1 Be merciful unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; he oppresses me fighting me daily.

2 My enemies would daily swallow me up, for they are many that fight against me, O thou most High.

3 When I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

5 Every day my life is filled with sorrow; 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 thine anger cast down the peoples, O God.

8 Thou tellest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle; are they not in thy book?

9 When I cry unto thee, then shall my enemies be turned back; in this I know that 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 of what man can do unto me.

12 Thy promises are upon me, O God; I will render praises unto thee.

13 For thou hast delivered my life from death; thou hast kept my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
