In God I Trust
To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A aMiktam of David, when the bPhilistines seized him in Gath.
cBe gracious to me, O God, for man dtramples on me;
all day long an attacker oppresses me;
2 my enemies trample on me all day long,
for many attack me proudly.
3 When I am afraid,
I aput my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; aI shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they injure my cause;
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They astir up strife, they blurk;
they cwatch my steps,
as they have waited for my life.
7 For their crime will they escape?
aIn wrath bcast down the peoples, O God!
8 You have kept count of my tossings;
aput my tears in your bottle.
bAre they not in your book?
9 Then my enemies will turn back
ain the day when I call.
This I know, that bGod is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11 in God I trust; aI shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
12 I must perform my avows to you, O God;
I will arender thank offerings to you.
13 aFor you have delivered my soul from death,
yes, my feet from falling,
bthat I may walk before God
cin the light of life.
