Supplication for Rescue and Grateful Trust in God.

¹ Be gracious to me, O God, for man has ^(C1)trampled on me;
All day long the adversary ^(C2)oppresses and torments me.

² My enemies have ^(C1)trampled upon me all day long,
For they are many who ^(C2)fight proudly against me.

³ When I am ^(C1)afraid,
I will ^(C2)put my trust and faith in You.

^4 (C1)In God, whose word I praise;
In God I have put my trust;
I shall not fear.
^(C2)What can mere man do to me?

⁵ All day long they ^(C1)twist my words and say hurtful things;
All their ^(C2)thoughts are against me for evil.

⁶ They ^(C1)attack, they hide and lurk,
They ^(C2)watch my steps,
As they have expectantly ^(C3)waited to take my life.

^7 (C1)Cast them out because of their wickedness.
In anger ^(C2)bring down the peoples, O God!

⁸ You ^(C1)have taken account of my wanderings;
Put my ^(C2)tears in Your bottle.
Are they not recorded in ^(C3)Your book?

⁹ Then my enemies will ^(C1)turn back ^(C2)in the day when I call;
This I know, that ^(C3)God is for me. ^(VR1)

¹⁰ In God, whose word I praise,
In the LORD, whose word I praise,

¹¹ In God have I put my trust and confident reliance; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

¹² Your ^(C1)vows are binding upon me, O God;
I will give thank offerings to You.

¹³ For You have ^(C1)rescued my soul from death,
Yes, and ^(C2)my feet from stumbling,
So that I may ^(C3)walk before God
In the ^(C4)light of life.
