To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim,
Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him
in Gath.
Be
merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me
up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
02 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for
they be many that fight against me, O thou most
High.
03 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
04 In God I will praise his word, in God I have
put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do
unto me.
05 Every day they wrest my words: all their
thoughts are against me for evil.
06 They gather themselves together, they hide
themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait
for my soul.
07 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger
cast down the people, O God.

08 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears
into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
09 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies
turn back: 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 have I put my trust: I will not be
afraid what man can do unto me.
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render
praises unto thee.
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death:
wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that
I may walk before God in the light of the living?
