| 1For the choir director; according to Jonath elem rehokim. 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. | 1To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. |

| 5All day long they distort my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil. | 5Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. |
| 6They attack, they lurk, They watch my steps, As they have waited to take my life. | 6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. |
| 7Because of wickedness, cast them forth, In anger put down the peoples, O God! | 7Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God. |

| 10In God, whose word I praise, In the LORD, whose word I praise, | 10In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. |
| 11In God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? | 11In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. |
| 12Your vows are binding upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You. | 12Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. |
| 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. | 13For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? |
