Psalms

¹ For the choir director. According to Jonath Elem Rehokim. A Mikhtam of David. When the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled upon me; All day long, an attacker oppresses me.

² For many attack me proudly.

³ I will trust in You.

⁴ In God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?

⁵ All their thoughts are against me for evil.

⁶ They watch my heels, As they have hoped to take my life.

⁷ In anger, bring down the peoples, O God!

⁸ Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book?

⁹ This I know, that God is for me.

¹⁰ In Yahweh, whose word I praise,

¹¹ What can man do to me?

¹² I will fulfill thank offerings to You.

¹³ Indeed my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of the living.
