To the Chief Musician. Set to 'The Silent Dove in Distant Lands.' [fn] A Michtam of David when the Philistines captured him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up;Fighting all day he oppresses me. ² My enemies would hound me all day, For there are many who fight against me, O Most High. ³ Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. ⁴ In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me? ⁵ All day they twist my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil. ⁶ They gather together, They hide, they mark my steps, When they lie in wait for my life. ⁷ Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God!

⁸ You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book? ⁹ When I cry out to You, Then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me. ¹⁰ In God (I will praise His word), In the LORD (I will praise His word), ¹¹ In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? ¹² Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God; I will render praises to You, ¹³ For You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?
