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?
