2 Mine 2 enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou Most High.

3 What time I am afraid, c I will trust in thee.

4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; d I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. 5 Every day they wrest my words: e all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark f my steps, when they wait for my soul.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? g in thine anger cast down the people, O God.

8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? h

9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for i God is for me.

10 In God will I praise his word : in the LORD will I praise his word. 11 In God have I put my trust: 1 will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: will not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
