1HAVE mercy on me, O God, for men would trample me;
all day long my foes continue attacking.
2 My enemies pursue me all day long;
many in arrogance fight against me.
3 When I am afraid,
I will trust in You.
4 In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?
5 All day long they twist my words;
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They conspire together, they lurk;
they watch my steps,
as they wait to take my life.
7 Do not let them get away with such iniquity;
in Your anger, O God, cast down the peoples!
8 You have recorded my wanderings;
store up my tears in Your flask—
are they not laid up in Your records?
9 Then my enemies will turn back
when I call to You for help.
By this I know, that God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise.
11 In God I trust; I am not afraid.
What can man do to me?
12 My vows to You are upon me, O God,
I will present my thank offerings to You.
13 For You have delivered me from death,
and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
