To the chief Musician[H5329] upon Jonathelemrechokim[H3128], Michtam[H4387] of David[H1732], when the Philistines[H6430]took[H270] him in Gath[H1661]. Be merciful[H2603] unto me, O God[H430]: for man[H582] would swallow me up[H7602]; he fighting[H3898]daily[H3117]oppresseth[H3905] me.
2
Mine enemies[H8324] would daily[H3117]swallow[H7602] me up: for they be many[H7227] that fight[H3898] against me, O thou most High[H4791].
3
What time[H3117] I am afraid[H3372], I will trust[H982] in thee.
4
In God[H430] I will praise[H1984] his word[H1697], in God[H430] I have put my trust[H982]; I will not fear[H3372] what flesh[H1320] can do[H6213] unto me.
5
Every day[H3117] they wrest[H6087] my words[H1697]: all their thoughts[H4284] are against me for evil[H7451].
6
They gather themselves together[H1481], they hide[H6845] themselves, they mark[H8104] my steps[H6119], when they wait[H6960] for my soul[H5315].
7
Shall they escape[H6405] by iniquity?[H205] in thine anger[H639] cast down[H3381] the people[H5971], O God[H430].
8
Thou tellest[H5608] my wanderings[H5112]: put[H7760] thou my tears[H1832] into thy bottle[H4997]: are they not in thy book?[H5612]
9When[H3117] I cry[H7121] unto thee, then shall mine enemies[H341]turn[H7725]back[H268]: this I know[H3045]; for God[H430] is for me.
10
In God[H430] will I praise[H1984] his word[H1697]: in the LORD[H3068] will I praise[H1984] his word[H1697].
11
In God[H430] have I put my trust[H982]: I will not be afraid[H3372] what man[H120] can do[H6213] unto me.
12
Thy vows[H5088] are upon me, O God[H430]: I will render[H7999]praises[H8426] unto thee.
13
For thou hast delivered[H5337] my soul[H5315] from death[H4194]: wilt not thou deliver my feet[H7272] from falling[H1762], that I may walk[H1980]before[H6440]God[H430] in the light[H216] of the living?[H2416]
