1. O God, have mercy on me,for people are hounding me.My foes attack me all day long.
2. I am constantly hounded by those who slander me,and many are boldly attacking me.
3. But when I am afraid,I will put my trust in you.
4. I praise God for what he has promised.I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?What can mere mortals do to me?
5. They are always twisting what I say;they spend their days plotting to harm me.
