1Be gracious to me, O God, for people trample on me;

all day long foes oppress me;

2my enemies trample on me all day long,

for many fight against me.

O Most High,* 3when I am afraid,

I put my trust in you.*

4In God, whose word I praise,

in God I trust; I am not afraid;

what can flesh do to me?*

5All day long they seek to injure my cause;

all their thoughts are against me for evil.*

6They stir up strife; they lurk;

they watch my steps,

as they hoped to take my life.*

7Do not deliver them for any reason;m

in wrath cast down the peoples, O God!*

8You have kept count of my tossings;

put my tears in your bottle.

Are they not in your record?*

9Then my enemies will retreat

in the day when I call.

This I know, thatn God is for me.*

10In God, whose word I praise,

in the Lord, whose word I praise,

11in God I trust; I am not afraid.

What can a mere mortal do to me?

12My vows to you I must perform, O God;

I will render thank offerings to you.*

13For you have delivered my soul from death

and my feet from falling,

so that I may walk before God

in the light of life.*
