[1] Help me, God. Men are chasing me. All day long they keep attacking me. [2] My enemies chase me all day long. Many proud people are attacking me. [3] When I’m afraid, I put my trust in you. [4] I trust in God. I praise his word. I trust in God. I am not afraid. What can mere people do to me? [5] All day long they twist my words. They are always making plans to destroy me. [6] They get together and hide. They watch my steps. They hope to kill me. [7] Because they are so evil, make sure you don’t let them escape. God, bring down the nations in your anger. [8] Make a record of my sadness. List my tears in your book. 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 am not afraid. What can mere people 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 the darkness of death. You have kept me from tripping and falling. Now I can live with you in the light of life.
