1To the chief Musician{H5329}{H8764)} upon Jonathelemrechokim{H3128}, Michtam{H4387} of David{H1732}, when the Philistines{H6430} took{H270}{H8800)} him in Gath{H1661}. Be merciful{H2603}{H8798)} unto me, O God{H430}: for man{H582} would swallow me up{H7602}{H8804)}; he fighting{H3898}{H8802)} daily{H3117} oppresseth{H3905}{H8799)} me.
2Mine enemies{H8324}{H8802)} would daily{H3117} swallow{H7602}{H8804)} me up: for they be many{H7227} that fight{H3898}{H8802)} against me, O thou most High{H4791}.
3What time{H3117} I am afraid{H3372}{H8799)}, I will trust{H982}{H8799)} in thee.
4In God{H430} I will praise{H1984}{H8762)} his word{H1697}, in God{H430} I have put my trust{H982}{H8804)}; I will not fear{H3372}{H8799)} what flesh{H1320} can do{H6213}{H8799)} unto me.
5Every day{H3117} they wrest{H6087}{H8762)} my words{H1697}: all their thoughts{H4284} are against me for evil{H7451}.
6They gather themselves together{H1481}{H8799)}, they hide{H6845}{H8799)}{H8675)}{H6845}{H8686)} themselves, they mark{H8104}{H8799)} my steps{H6119}, when they wait{H6960}{H8765)} for my soul{H5315}.
7Shall they escape{H6405} by iniquity{H205}? in thine anger{H639} cast down{H3381}{H8685)} the people{H5971}, O God{H430}.
8Thou tellest{H5608}{H8804)} my wanderings{H5112}: put{H7760}{H8798)} thou my tears{H1832} into thy bottle{H4997}: are they not in thy book{H5612}?
9When{H3117} I cry{H7121}{H8799)} unto thee, then shall mine enemies{H341}{H8802)} turn{H7725}{H8799)} back{H268}: this I know{H3045}{H8804)}; for God{H430} is for me.
10In God{H430} will I praise{H1984}{H8762)} his word{H1697}: in the LORD{H3068} will I praise{H1984}{H8762)} his word{H1697}.
11In God{H430} have I put my trust{H982}{H8804)}: I will not be afraid{H3372}{H8799)} what man{H120} can do{H6213}{H8799)} unto me.
12Thy vows{H5088} are upon me, O God{H430}: I will render{H7999}{H8762)} praises{H8426} unto thee.
13For thou hast delivered{H5337}{H8689)} my soul{H5315} from death{H4194}: wilt not thou deliver my feet{H7272} from falling{H1762}, that I may walk{H1980}{H8692)} before{H6440} God{H430} in the light{H216} of the living{H2416}?
