Pleading for Help and Grateful Trust in God.

¹ Be gracious to me, God, for a man has ^(F1)(C1)trampled upon me;
^(F2)Fighting all day long he ^(C2)oppresses me.

² My enemies have ^(C1)trampled upon me all day long,
For ^(F1)they are many who ^(C2)fight proudly against me.

^3 (F1)When I am ^(C1)afraid,
^(F2)I will ^(C2)put my trust in You.

^4 (C1)In God, whose word I praise,
In God I have put my trust;
I shall not be afraid.
^(C2)What can mere ^(F1)mortals do to me?

⁵ All day long they ^(C1)distort my words;
All their ^(F1)(C2)thoughts are against me for evil.

⁶ They ^(F1)(C1)attack, they lurk,
They ^(C2)watch my ^(F2)steps,
As they have ^(C3)waited to take my ^(F3)life.

⁷ Because of their wickedness, will there be an ^(C1)escape for them?
In anger ^(C2)make the peoples fall down, God!

⁸ You ^(C1)have taken account of my ^(F1)miseries;
Put my ^(C2)tears in Your bottle.
Are they not in ^(C3)Your book?

⁹ Then my enemies will ^(C1)turn back ^(C2)on the day when I call;
This I know, ^(F1)that ^(C3)God is for me.

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

¹¹ In God I have put my ^(F1)trust, I shall not be afraid.
What can mankind do to me?

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

¹³ For You have ^(C1)saved my soul from death,
^(F1)Indeed ^(C2)my feet from stumbling,
So that I may ^(C3)walk before God
In the ^(C4)light of the ^(F2)living.
