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? |
