| [1]To the chief Musician upon Jonathelem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. |
[1]To the Overseer. -- `On the Dumb Dove far off.' -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me, |
| [2]My enemies would daily swallow me up: for they are many that fight against me, O thou Most High. |
[2]Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O most High, |
| [3]In the time when I am afraid, I will trust in thee. |
[3]The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee. |
| [4]In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me. |
[4]In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me. |
| [5]Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. |
[5]All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil, |
| [6]They assemble themselves, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. |
[6]They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul. |
| [7]Shall they escape by iniquity; in thy anger cast down the people, O God. |
[7]By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God. |
| [8]Thou numberest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? |
[8]My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book? |
| [9]When I cry to thee, then shall my enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. |
[9]Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me. |
| [10]In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. |
[10]In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word. |
| [11]In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do to me. |
[11]In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me, |
| [12]Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises to thee. |
[12]On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee. |
| [13]For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt thou not deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? |
[13]For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living! |
