Bible
- 1
- BE MERCIFUL and gracious to me, O God, for man would trample me or devour me; all the day long the adversary oppresses me.
- 2
- They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up or trample me all day long, for they are many who fight against me, O Most High!
- 3
- What time I am afraid, I will have confidence in and put my trust and reliance in You.
- 4
- By [the help of] God I will praise His word; on God I lean, rely, and confidently put my trust; I will not fear. What can man, who is flesh, do to me?
- 5
- All day long they twist my words and trouble my affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil and my hurt.
- 6
- They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they watch my steps, even as they have [expectantly] waited for my life.
- 7
- They think to escape with iniquity, and shall they? In Your indignation bring down the peoples, O God.
- 8
- You number and record my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle--are they not in Your book?
- 9
- Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I cry out; this I know, for God is for me. [Rom. 8:31.]
- 10
- In God, Whose word I praise, in the Lord, Whose word I praise,
- 11
- In God have I put my trust and confident reliance; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
- 12
- Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render praise to You and give You thank offerings.
- 13
- For You have delivered my life from death, yes, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life and of the living.
