¹ Be merciful to me, O God, because I am under attack; my enemies persecute me all the time.

² All day long my opponents attack me. There are so many who fight against me.

³ When I am afraid, O LORD Almighty, I put my trust in you.

⁴ I trust in God and am not afraid; I praise him for what he has promised. What can a mere human being do to me?

⁵ My enemies make trouble for me all day long; they are always thinking up some way to hurt me!

⁶ They gather in hiding places and watch everything I do, hoping to kill me.

⁷ Punish them, O God, for their evil; defeat those people in your anger!

⁸ You know how troubled I am; you have kept a record of my tears. Aren't they listed in your book?

⁹ The day I call to you, my enemies will be turned back. I know this: God is on my side---

¹⁰ the LORD, whose promises I praise.

¹¹ In him I trust, and I will not be afraid. What can a mere human being do to me?

¹² O God, I will offer you what I have promised; I will give you my offering of thanksgiving,

¹³ because you have rescued me from death and kept me from defeat. And so I walk in the presence of God, in the light that shines on the living.
