1. Have mercy on me, God, for man devours me; all day long he fights and crushes me.
2. My enemies pant after me all day long, for many fight against me from on high.
3. When I am afraid, I trust in you.
4. In God I boast of his word; in God I trust—I will not fear what flesh can do to me.
5. They twist my words against me all day; all their thoughts are for evil.
6. They gather, hide themselves, and lie in wait, watching my steps as they wait for my soul.
7. Will they escape by iniquity? In anger bring down the peoples, God.
8. You have numbered my wanderings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?
9. Then my enemies will turn back on the day I call; this I know, that God is for me.
10. In God I praise his word; in Yahweh I praise his word.
11. In God I have trusted; I will not fear what man can do to me.
12. O God, your vows are upon me; I will pay thank offerings to you.
13. For you have saved my soul from death; will you not preserve my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
