1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “A SILENT DOVE FAR OFF.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN THE PHILISTINES’ TAKING HOLD OF HIM IN GATH. Favor me, O God, for man swallowed me up, || All the day fighting he oppresses me, 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 My enemies have swallowed up all the day, || For many [are] fighting against me, O Most High, 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 [In] the day I am afraid I am confident toward You. When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, || I do not fear what flesh does 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 the day they wrest my words, || All their thoughts [are] for evil concerning me, 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 assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, || When they have expected my soul. 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 They escape by iniquity, || In anger put down the peoples, O God. 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 counted my wandering, || You place my tear in Your bottle, || Are they not in Your scroll? 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 Then turn back my enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for 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 I praise the word, || In YHWH I praise the word. 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 trusted, || I do not fear what man does 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 On me, O God, [are] Your vows, || I repay thank-offerings 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 my soul from death, || Do You not [keep] my feet from falling? To habitually 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.
