1Be merciful to me, O God; for my enemies pursue me daily, ever pressing their unrelenting attack. 2My enemies are many that are at war against me, O Most High. 3When fear grips me, I will trust in You. 4I will praise You, in Whose word I place my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me. 5Every day they twist my words; and plot my ruin. 6They gather, they hide in ambush, marking my steps, and wait to kill me. 7Shall they get away with their evil? In Your anger cast them down, O God. 8You have kept track of my travels; and kept my tears in Your bottle. Are they not logged in Your book? 9I know that when I call upon You, my enemies will retreat; for You is for me. 10I have put my trust in You; and in Your word I will praise You. 11When I put my trust in God; I have no reason to fear what man can do to me. 12I will fulfill my vows to You, O God, to render offerings of praise unto You. 13For You have saved my soul from death, and my feet from stumbling, so that I may walk before You, God in the light of the living?
