1Be gracious to me, O God, for man has[†]trampled upon me;
All day long, an attacker oppresses me.
2My foes have[†]trampled upon me all day long,
For many attack me proudly.
3[†]When I am afraid,
[†]I will trust in You.
4In God, whose word I praise,
In God I trust;
I shall not be afraid.
What canmere[†]man do to me?
5All day long they[†]distort my words;
All their[†]thoughts are against me for evil.
6They[†]attack, they lurk,
They watch my heels,
As they have hopedto take my[†]life.
7On account oftheir wickedness, will they have an escape?
In anger, bring down the peoples, O God!
8You have taken account of my wanderings;
Put my tears in Your bottle.
Arethey not in Your book?
9Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call;
This I know,[†]that God is for me.
10In God,whose word I praise,
In Yahweh,whose word I praise,
11In God I[†]trust, I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
12Your vows arebinding upon me, O God;
I will[†]fulfill thank offerings to You.
13[†]For You have delivered my soul from death,
Indeed my feet from stumbling,
So that I may walk before God
In the light of the[†]living.
