| 2. | Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me, |
| 3. | Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many are fighting against me, O most High, |
| 4. | The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee. |
| 5. | In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me. |
| 6. | All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts are for evil, |
| 7. | They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul. |
| 8. | By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God. |
| 9. | My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book? |
| 10. | Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God is for me. |
| 11. | In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word. |
| 12. | In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me, |
| 13. | On me, O God, are Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee. |
| 14. | For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living! |
