1 BE merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. | |
2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. | |
3 What time 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 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 thine anger cast down the people, O God. | |
8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? | |
9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine 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 unto me. | |
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. | |
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? | |
