1Be gracious unto me, O °ElohimGod; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me. 2Mine enemies would swallow [me] up all the day long; for they are many that fight against me haughtily. 3In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee. 4In °ElohimGod will I praise his word, in °ElohimGod I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me? 5All the day long they wrest my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil. 6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves; they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul. 7Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O °ElohimGod. 8 Thou countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? 9Then shall mine enemies return backward in the day when I call: this I know, for °ElohimGod is for me. 10In °ElohimGod will I praise [his] word; in Jehovah will I praise [his] word. 11In °ElohimGod have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me? 12Thy vows are upon me, O °ElohimGod: I will render thanks unto thee. 13For thou hast delivered my soul from death; [wilt thou] not [keep] my feet from falling, that I may walk before °ElohimGod in the light of the living?
