In God I Trust
To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktama of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.
1 Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;
all day long an attacker oppresses me;

1 Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples 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 trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they injure my cause;b
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They stir up strife, they lurk;
they watch my steps,
as they have waited for my life.
they watch my steps,
as they have waited for my life.
7 For their crime will they escape?
In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11 in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
What can man do to me?
12 I must perform my vows to you, O God;
I will render thank offerings to you.
I will render thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered my soul from death,
yes, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
yes, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
