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? |
