¹ God, show me your favor. Men are chasing me. All day long they keep attacking me. ² Those who tell lies about me chase me all day long. Many proud people are attacking me. ³ When I'm afraid, I will trust in you. ⁴ I trust in God. I praise his word. I trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can people do to me? ⁵ All day long they twist my words. They are always making plans to harm me. ⁶ They get together and hide. They watch my steps. They hope to kill me. ⁷ Make sure you don't let them escape. God, bring down the nations in your anger. ⁸ Write down my poem of sadness. List my tears on your scroll. Aren't you making a record of them? ⁹ My enemies will turn back when I call out to you for help. Then I will know that God is on my side. ¹⁰ I trust in God. I praise his word. I trust in the Lord. I praise his word. ¹¹ I trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can mere men do to me? ¹² God, I have made promises to you. I will bring my thank offerings to you. ¹³ You have saved me from death. You have kept me from tripping and falling. Now I can live with you in the light that leads to life.
