A Mikhtam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled upon me; Fighting all day long he oppresses me. |

| 5All day long people distort what I say; all their schemes against me are for evil purposes. | 5All day long they distort my words; 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 attack, they lurk, They watch my steps, As they have waited to take my life. |
| 7Cast them away because of their wickedness. In wrath, God, cast down these people! | 7Because of wickedness, cast them forth, In anger put down the peoples, O God! |

| 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 have put my 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. | 12Your vows are binding upon me, 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, Indeed my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of the living. |
