| 1Have mercy on me, God, because men have harassed me. Those who oppress me have fought against me all day long. | 1Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me; |
| 2Those who watch me all day have harassed me, for there are many who fight against me out of conceit. | 2my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly. |
| 3On days when I am afraid, I put my trust in you. | 3When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. |
| 4In God, whose word I praise, in God I put my trust. I will not fear what mortal man can do to me. | 4In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me? |
| 5All day long people distort what I say; all their schemes against me are for evil purposes. | 5All day long they injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil. |
| 6They gather together and hide in ambush. They watch my every step as they lie in wait for my life. | 6They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps, as they have waited for my life. |
| 7Cast them away because of their wickedness. In wrath, God, cast down these people! | 7For their crime will they escape? In wrath cast down the peoples, O God! |
| 8You have kept count of my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle— have not you recorded them in your book? | 8You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? |
| 9My enemies will retreat when I call on you. This has been my experience, because God is with me. | 9Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me. |
| 10In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, | 10In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, |
| 11in God I will put my trust. I will not fear what mortal man can do to me. | 11in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? |
| 12God, I have taken vows before you; therefore I will offer thanksgiving sacrifices to you. | 12I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you. |
| 13For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living! | 13For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. |
