Supplication for Deliverance and Grateful Trust in God.
For the choir director; according to Jonath elem rehokim. A Mikhtam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.
1 Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled upon me;
Fighting all day long he oppresses me.
2 My foes have trampled upon me all day long,
For they are many who fight proudly against me.
3 When I am afraid,
I will put my trust in You.
4 In God, whose word I praise,
In God I have put my trust;
I shall not be afraid.
What canmereman do to me?
5 All day long theydistort my words;
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 Theyattack, they lurk,
They watch my steps,
As they have waitedto takemy life.
7 Because of wickedness, cast them forth,
In anger put down the peoples, O God!
8 You have taken account of my wanderings;
Put my tears in Your bottle.
Aretheynot in Your book?
9 Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call;
# This I know,that God is for me.
10 In God,whoseword I praise,
In the Lord,whoseword I praise,
11 In God I have put mytrust, I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
12 Your vows arebindingupon me, O God;
I will render thank offerings to You.
13 For 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.
