1 Have mercy on me, God, because men have harassed me. Those who oppress me have fought against me all day long. Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me; For the director of music. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” Of David. A miktam. When the Philistines had seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, my God, for my enemies are in hot pursuit; all day long they press their attack.
2 Those who watch me all day have harassed me, for there are many who fight against me out of conceit. my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly. My adversaries pursue me all day long; in their pride many are attacking me.
3 On days when I am afraid, I put my trust in you. When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I put my trust. I will not fear what mortal man can do to me. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me? In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?
5 All day long people distort what I say; all their schemes against me are for evil purposes. All day long they injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil. All day long they twist my words; all their schemes are for my ruin.
6 They gather together and hide in ambush. They watch my every step as they lie in wait for my life. They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps, as they have waited for my life. They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, hoping to take my life.
7 Cast them away because of their wickedness. In wrath, God, cast down these people! For their crime will they escape? In wrath cast down the peoples, O God! Because of their wickedness do not let them escape; in your anger, God, bring the nations down.
8 You have kept count of my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle— have not you recorded them in your book? You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll — are they not in your record?
9 My enemies will retreat when I call on you. This has been my experience, because God is with me. Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me. Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise—
11 in God I will put my trust. I will not fear what mortal man can do to me. in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?
12 God, I have taken vows before you; therefore I will offer thanksgiving sacrifices to you. I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you. I am under vows to you, my God; I will present my thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living! For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
