LEB(i)
1 For the music director, according to The Silent Dove of Distant Lands. Of David. A miktam. When the Philistines seized him in Gath.*
Be gracious to me, O God, because humankind has trampled me; fighting all the day he oppresses me. 2 My enemies* trample all day, because many are attacking me proudly. 3 ⌊When⌋* I fear, I trust you. 4 God, whose word I praise, God I trust; I do not fear. What can mere flesh do to me? 5 All day they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil. 6 They attack,* they hide, they watch my ⌊steps⌋,* as they lie in wait for my life. 7 Because of iniquity will they escape? In anger cast down the peoples, O God. 8 You have kept count of my wonderings. Put my tears in your bottle; are they not in your book? 9 Then my enemies will turn back ⌊when⌋* I call.* This I know because* God is for me. 10 God, whose word I praise, Yahweh, whose word I praise, 11 God I trust; I do not fear. What can mere humankind do to me? 12 My vows to you, O God, are binding upon me. I will pay thank offerings to you, 13 because you have delivered my soul from death. Have you not kept my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
