1. Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up;Fighting all day he oppresses me.
2. My enemies would hound me all day,For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.
3. Whenever I am afraid,I will trust in You.
4. In God (I will praise His word),In God I have put my trust;I will not fear.What can flesh do to me?
5. All day they twist my words;All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6. They gather together,They hide, they mark my steps,When they lie in wait for my life.
7. Shall they escape by iniquity?In anger cast down the peoples, O God!
8. You number my wanderings;Put my tears into Your bottle;Are they not in Your book?
