To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktam1 of David, jwhen the Philistines seized him in Gath.
1 Be gracious to me, O God, for man ktramples on me;
all day long an attacker oppresses me;
2 my enemies trample on me all day long,
for many attack me proudly.
3 When I am afraid,
I put my ltrust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; mI shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they injure my cause;2
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They nstir up strife, they lurk;
they owatch my steps,
as they have waited for my life.
7 For their crime will they escape?
In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
8 You have kept count of my tossings;3
put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in pyour book?
