¹ BE merciful to me, O God; for man has trodden me under foot; all the day long the fighting oppresses me.² Mine enemies have daily trodden me under foot; for many warriors have risen against me.³ I fear not during the day, because I trust in thee.⁴ In God I will be glorified, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what man can do to me.⁵ All the day long they conspired against me and they devised evil against me.⁶ They will wait in hiding, they will watch my steps, inasmuch as they wish for my death.⁷ He has no deliverer, they have said. Condemn them with the condemnation of the Gentiles.

⁸ O God, I have declared my faith unto thee; record thou my tears before thee in thy book.⁹ Then shall mine enemies turn back; and I will know I have a God.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 to me.¹² To thee shall I perform my vows, O God; I will offer them to thee with thank offering.¹³ For thou hast delivered my soul from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may be pleasing in thy sight, O God, in the land of the living.
