1. For the music director: “A Silent Dove Far Away,” a Michtam of David, when the Philistines had seized him in Gath.
2. Be gracious to me, O God! For man has crushed me, fighting all day he oppresses me.
3. My foes trample me all day. For many are fighting me arrogantly.
4. In a day when I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.
5. In God—I keep praising His word— in God I trust, I will not fear. What can mere flesh do to me?
6. All day they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
