1BE merciful to me, O God; for man has trodden me under foot; all the day long the fighting oppresses me.

2Mine enemies have daily trodden me under foot; for many warriors have risen against me.

3I fear not during the day, because I trust in thee.

4In God I will be glorified, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what man can do to me.

5All the day long they conspired against me and they devised evil against me.

6They will wait in hiding, they will watch my steps, inasmuch as they wish for my death.

7He has no deliverer, they have said. Condemn them with the condemnation of the Gentiles.

8O God, I have declared my faith unto thee; record thou my tears before thee in thy book.

9Then shall mine enemies turn back; and I will know I have a God.

10In God will I praise his word; in the LORD will I praise his word.

11In God have I put my trust; I will not be afraid what man can do to me.

12To thee shall I perform my vows, O God; I will offer them to thee with thank offering.

13For thou hast delivered my soul from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may be pleasing in thy sight, O God, in the land of the living.
