To the chief Musician
upon Jonathelemrechokim,
Michtam
of David,
when the Philistines
took
him in Gath.
Be merciful
unto me, O God:
for man
would swallow me up;
he fighting
daily
oppresseth
me.

Mine enemies
would daily
swallow
me up: for they be many
that fight
against me, O thou most High.
What time
I am afraid,
I will trust
in thee.
In God
I will praise
his word,
in God
I have put my trust;
I will not fear
what flesh
can do
unto me.
Every day
they wrest
my words:
all their thoughts
are against me for evil.
They gather themselves together,
they hide
themselves, they mark
my steps,
when they wait
for my soul.
Shall they escape
by iniquity?
in thine anger
cast down
the people,
O God.
Thou tellest
my wanderings:
put
thou my tears
into thy bottle:
are they not in thy book?
When
I cry
unto thee, then shall mine enemies
turn
back:
this I know;
for God
is for me.
In God
will I praise
his word:
in the LORD
will I praise
his word.
In God
have I put my trust:
I will not be afraid
what man
can do
unto me.
Thy vows
are upon me, O God:
I will render
praises
unto thee.
For thou hast delivered
my soul
from death:
wilt not thou deliver my feet
from falling,
that I may walk
before
God
in the light
of the living?
