| 1To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Silent Dove in Distant Lands.” A Michtam of David when the Philistines captured him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up; Fighting all day he oppresses me. | 1Have mercy on me, God, because men have harassed me. Those who oppress me have fought against me all day long. |
| 2My enemies would hound me all day, For there are many who fight against me, O Most High. | 2Those who watch me all day have harassed me, for there are many who fight against me out of conceit. |
| 3Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. | 3On days when I am afraid, I put my trust in you. |
| 4In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me? | 4In God, whose word I praise, in God I put my trust. I will not fear what mortal man can do to me. |
| 5All day they twist my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil. | 5All day long people distort what I say; all their schemes against me are for evil purposes. |
| 6They gather together, They hide, they mark my steps, When they lie in wait for my life. | 6They gather together and hide in ambush. They watch my every step as they lie in wait for my life. |
| 7Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God! | 7Cast them away because of their wickedness. In wrath, God, cast down these people! |
| 8You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book? | 8You have kept count of my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle— have not you recorded them in your book? |
| 9When I cry out to You, Then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me. | 9My enemies will retreat when I call on you. This has been my experience, because God is with me. |
| 10In God (I will praise His word), In the LORD (I will praise His word), | 10In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, |
| 11In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? | 11in God I will put my trust. I will not fear what mortal man can do to me. |
| 12Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God; I will render praises to You, | 12God, I have taken vows before you; therefore I will offer thanksgiving sacrifices to you. |
| 13For You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living? | 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! |
