1 Show me Your loving-kindness, O God, for man has walked on me. All day long the one who tries to keep me down fights with me.
2 All day long those who hate me have walked on me. For there are many who fight against me with pride.
3 When I am afraid, I will trust in You.
4 I praise the Word of God. I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can only a man do to me?
5 All day long they change my words to say what I did not say. They are always thinking of ways to hurt me.
6 They go after me as in a fight. They hide themselves. They watch my steps, as they have waited to take my life.
7 Because they are bad, do not let them get away. Bring down the people in Your anger, O God.
8 You have seen how many places I have gone. Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book?
9 Then those who hate me will turn back when I call. I know that God is for me.
10 I praise the Word of God. I praise the Word of the Lord.
11 In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12 I am under an agreement with You, O God. I will give You gifts of thanks.
13 For You have set my soul free from death. You have kept my feet from falling, so I may walk with God in the light of life.
