| 1. | {To the chief Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath.} |
| 2. | Be gracious unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me. |
| 3. | Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; for they are many that fight against me haughtily. |
| 4. | In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee. |
| 5. | In God will I praise his word, in God I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me? |
| 6. | All the day long they wrest my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil. |
| 7. | They gather themselves together, they hide themselves; they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul. |
| 8. | Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God. |
| 9. | Thou countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? |
| 10. | Then shall mine enemies return backward in the day when I call: this I know, for God is for me. |
| 11. | In God will I praise his word; in Jehovah will I praise his word. |
| 12. | In God have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me? |
| 13. | Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thanks unto thee. |
| 14. | For thou hast delivered my soul from death; wilt thou not keep my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? |
