1  Be gracious unto me, O ° ElohimGod; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me.

2 Mine enemies would swallow [me] up all the day long; for they are many that fight against me haughtily.

3  In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee.

4  In ° ElohimGod will I praise his word, in ° ElohimGod I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me?

5  All the day long they wrest my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6  They gather themselves together, they hide themselves; they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul.

7  Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O ° ElohimGod.

8  Thou countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

9  Then shall mine enemies return backward in the day when I call: this I know, for ° ElohimGod is for me.

10  In ° Elohim|strong="H0430"God will I praise [his] word; in Jehovah will I praise [his] word.

11  In ° Elohim|strong="H0430"God have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

12 Thy vows are upon me, O ° Elohim|strong="H0430"God: I will render thanks unto thee.

13  For thou hast delivered my soul from death; [wilt thou] not [keep] my feet from falling, that I may walk before ° Elohim|strong="H0430"God in the light of the living?
