| 1: Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up;
he fighting daily oppresseth me. |
| |
| 2: Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that
fight against me, O thou most High. |
| |
| 3:
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. |
| |
| 4: In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I
will not fear what flesh can do unto me. |
| |
| 5: Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against
me for evil. |
| |
| 6: They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they
mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. |
| |
| 7: Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the
people, O God. |
| |
| 8: Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle:
are they not in thy book? |
| |
| 9: When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this
I know; for God is for me. |
| |
| 10: In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his
word. |
| |
| 11: In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can
do unto me. |
| |
| 12: Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
|
| |
| 13: 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? |
