1. Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled upon me; Fighting all day long he oppresses me.
2. My foes have trampled upon me all day long, For they are many who fight proudly against me.
3. When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.
4. In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?
5. All day long they distort my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6. They attack, they lurk, They watch my steps, As they have waited to take my life.
7. Because of wickedness, cast them forth, In anger put down the peoples, O God!
