¹ [To the chiefe musician vpon Ionath Elem Rechokim, Michtam of Dauid, when the Philistines tooke him in Gath.] Be mercifull vnto mee, O God, for man would swallow me vp: he fighting daily, oppresseth me. ² Mine enemies would dayly swallow me vp: for they bee many that fight against me, O thou most high. ³ What time I am afraide, I will trust in thee. ⁴ In God I will praise his worde, In God I haue put my trust, I will not feare what flesh can doe vnto me. ⁵ Euery day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against mee for euill. ⁶ They gather themselues together; they hide themselues, they marke my steps when they wait for my soule. ⁷ Shall they escape by iniquitie? in thine anger cast downe the people, O God.

⁸ Thou tellest my wanderings, put thou my teares into thy bottle: are they not in thy booke? ⁹ When I crie vnto thee, then shall mine enemies turne backe: 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 haue I put my trust: I will not bee afraid what man can doe vnto me. ¹² Thy vowes are vpon me, O God: I will render praises vnto thee. ¹³ For thou hast deliuered my soule from death: wilt not thou deliuer my feet from falling? that I may walke before God in the light of the liuing.
