1
Be merciful to me, #God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.
2
My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.
3
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
4
In #God, I praise his word. In #God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
5
All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6
They conspire and lurk, watching my steps. They are eager to take my life.
7
Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, #God.
8
You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren't they in your book?
9
Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that #God is for me.
10
In #God, I will praise his word. In Yahweh, I will praise his word.
11
I have put my trust in #God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12
Your vows are on me, #God. I will give thank offerings to you.
13
For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before #God in the light of the living.
