¹ Have pity, God Most High!
    My enemies chase me all day.
² Many of them are pursuing
    and attacking me,
³     but even when I am afraid,
    I keep on trusting you.
⁴ I praise your promises!
I trust you and am not afraid.
    No one can harm me.

⁵ Enemies spend the whole day
    finding fault with me;
    all they think about
    is how to do me harm.
⁶ They attack from ambush,
    watching my every step
    and hoping to kill me.
⁷ They won't get away^[b]
    with these crimes, God,
    because when you get angry,
    you destroy people.

⁸ You have kept record
    of my days of wandering.
You have stored my tears
in your bottle
    and counted each of them.

⁹ When I pray, Lord God,
    my enemies will retreat,
    because I know for certain
    that you are with me.
¹⁰ I praise your promises!
¹¹ I trust you and am not afraid.
    No one can harm me.

¹² I will keep my promises
to you, my God,
    and bring you gifts.
¹³ You protected me from death
    and kept me from stumbling,
so that I would please you
    and follow the light
    that leads to life.
