For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. A Psalm of David.
Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath. |
1
|
Be merciful unto me, O YAHUVEH; for man would swallow me up: All the day
long he fighting oppresseth me. |
2
|
Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many
that fight proudly against me. |
3
|
What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee. |
4
|
In YAHUVEH (I will praise his word), In YAHUVEH have I put my trust, I
will not be afraid; 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, Even as they have waited for my soul. |
7
|
Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O YAHUVEH. |
8
|
Thou numberest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle; Are
they not in thy book? |
9
|
Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know,
that YAHUVEH is for me. |
10
|
In YAHUVEH (I will praise his word), In YAHUVEH (I will praise
his word), |
11
|
In YAHUVEH have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do
unto me? |
12
|
Thy vows are upon me, O YAHUVEH: I will render thank-offerings unto thee. |
13
|
For thou hast delivered my soul from death: Hast thou not
delivered my feet from falling, That I may walk before YAHUVEH In the
light of the living? |
