For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Silent Dove in Distant Lands." A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.
1 Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up.
All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.
2 My enemies want to swallow me up all day long,
for they are many who fight proudly against me.
3 When I am afraid,
I will put my trust in you.
4 In God, I praise his word.
In God, I put my trust.
I will not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they twist my words.
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They conspire and lurk,
watching my steps.
They are eager to take my life.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity?
In anger cast down the peoples, God.
8 You count my wanderings.
You put my tears into your container.
Aren’t they in your book?
9 Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call.
I know this: that God is for me.
10 In God, I will praise his word.
In Yahweh, I will praise his word.
11 I have put my trust in God.
I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
12 Your vows are on me, God.
I will give thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered my soul from death,
and prevented my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

倚靠 神必不惧怕
大卫的金诗，交给诗班长，调用"远方无声鸽"，是大卫在迦特被非利士人捉住时作的。 1 神啊！求你恩待我，因为人要践踏我；
他们终日攻击我，迫害我。
2 我的仇敌终日践踏我，
攻击我的人很多。
3 至高者"至高者"原文放在第2节末，在那里或译："因逞骄傲攻击我的人很多"啊！我惧怕的时候，
就要倚靠你。
4 靠着 神，我要赞美他的话；
我倚靠 神，就必不惧怕，
人能把我怎么样呢？
5 他们终日歪曲我的话，
常常设计谋陷害我。
6 他们聚集在一起，埋伏着，
窥探我的脚踪，
等候要害我的性命。
7 愿他们因罪孽的缘故不能逃脱；
神啊！愿你在怒中使这些人败落。
8 我多次流离，你都数算；
你把我的眼泪装在你的皮袋里。
这不都记在你的册子上吗？
9 我呼求你的时候，
我的仇敌就都转身退后；
因此我知道 神是帮助我的。
10 靠着 神，我要赞美他的话；
靠着耶和华，我要赞美他的话。
11 我倚靠 神，就必不惧怕，
人能把我怎么样呢？
12 神啊！我要偿还我向你所许的愿，
我要把感谢祭献给你。
13 因为你救了我的性命脱离死亡；
你不是救了我的脚不跌倒，
使我在生命的光中，行在 神你的面前吗？
