Psalms

¹Unto the end. For the people who have become far removed from the Sacred. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when the Philistines held him in Gath. ↗

²Have mercy on me, O God, because man has trampled over me. All day long, he has afflicted me by fighting against me. ↗

³My enemies have trampled over me all day long. For those who make war against me are many. ↗

⁴From the height of the day, I will be afraid. But truly, I will hope in you. ↗

⁵In God, I will praise my words. In God, I have put my trust. I will not fear what flesh can do to me. ↗

⁶All day long, they curse my words. All their intentions are for evil against me. ↗

⁷They will dwell and hide themselves. They will watch my heel, just as they waited for my soul; ↗

⁸because of this, nothing will save them. In your anger, you will crush the people. ↗

⁹O God, I have announced my life to you. You have placed my tears in your sight, and even in your promise. ↗

¹⁰Then my enemies will be turned back. On whatever day that I call upon you, behold, I know that you are my God. ↗

¹¹In God, I will praise the word. In the Lord, I will praise his speech. In God, I have hoped. I will not fear what man can do to me. ↗

¹²My vows to you, O God, are in me. I will repay them. Praises be to you. ↗

¹³For you have rescued my soul from death and my feet from slipping, so that I may be pleasing in the sight of God, in the light of the living. ↗
