[1]For the Leader; upon Jonath-elem-rehokim. A Psalm 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 he fighti oppresseth me.
[3]They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up all the day; for they are many that fight against me, O Most High,
[4]In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.
[5]In God—I will praise His word—in God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me?
[6]All the day they trouble mine affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
[7]They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps; according as they have waited for my soul.
[8]Because of iniquity cast them out; in anger bring down the peoples, O God.
[9]Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?
[10]Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call; this I know, that God is for me.
[11]In God—I will praise His word—in 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇—I will praise His word—
[12]In God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto me?
[13]Thy vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank-offerings unto Thee.
[14]For thou hast delivered my soul from death; hast Thou not delivered my feet from stumbling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
