1 For the Leader; upon Jonath-elem-rehokim. [A Psalm] of David; Michtam; {N} when the Philistines took him in Gath. 2 Be gracious unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; all the day he fighting 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-- {N} 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 the LORD--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? {N} that I may walk before God in the light of the living. {P}
