To the chief MusicianH5329 upon JonathelemrechokimH3128, MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732, when the PhilistinesH6430 tookH270 him in GathH1661. Be mercifulH2603 unto me, O GodH430: for manH582 would swallow me upH7602; he fightingH3898 dailyH3117 oppressethH3905 me. {Michtam…: or, A golden Psalm of David}
Mine enemiesH8324 would dailyH3117 swallowH7602 me up: for they be manyH7227 that fightH3898 against me, O thou most HighH4791. {enemies: Heb. observers}
What timeH3117 I am afraidH3372, I will trustH982 in thee.
In GodH430 I will praiseH1984 his wordH1697, in GodH430 I have put my trustH982; I will not fearH3372 what fleshH1320 can doH6213 unto me.
Every dayH3117 they wrestH6087 my wordsH1697: all their thoughtsH4284 are against me for evilH7451.
They gather themselves togetherH1481, they hideH6845+H6845 themselves, they markH8104 my stepsH6119, when they waitH6960 for my soulH5315.
Shall they escapeH6405 by iniquityH205? in thine angerH639 cast downH3381 the peopleH5971, O GodH430.
Thou tellestH5608 my wanderingsH5112: putH7760 thou my tearsH1832 into thy bottleH4997: are they not in thy bookH5612?
WhenH3117 I cryH7121 unto thee, then shall mine enemiesH341 turnH7725 backH268: this I knowH3045; for GodH430 is for me.
In GodH430 will I praiseH1984 his wordH1697: in the LORDH3068 will I praiseH1984 his wordH1697.
In GodH430 have I put my trustH982: I will not be afraidH3372 what manH120 can doH6213 unto me.
Thy vowsH5088 are upon me, O GodH430: I will renderH7999 praisesH8426 unto thee.
For thou hast deliveredH5337 my soulH5315 from deathH4194: wilt not thou deliver my feetH7272 from fallingH1762, that I may walkH1980 beforeH6440 GodH430 in the lightH216 of the livingH2416?
