1 [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. {Michtam...: or, A golden Psalm of David}
2 Mine enemies would daily swallow {me} up: for {they be} many that fight against me, O thou most High. {enemies: Heb. observers}
3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts {are} against me for evil.
6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in {thine} anger cast down the people, O God.
8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: {are they} not in thy book?
9 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?
