1   Be gracious to me, O God, for the enemy persecute me,
  my assailants harass me all day long.
   2   All the day long my watchful foes persecute me;
  countless are those who assail me.
   3   Appear on high ^note in my day of fear;
  I put my trust in thee.
   4   With God to help me I will shout defiance,
  in God I trust and shall not be afraid;
  what can mortal men do to me?
   5   All day long abuse of me is their only theme,
    all their thoughts are hostile.
   6   In malice they are on the look-out, and watch for me,
    they dog my footsteps;
  but, while they lie in wait for me,
   7   it is they who will not ^note escape.
    O God, in thy anger bring ruin on the nations.

   8   Enter my lament in thy book, ^note
  store every tear in thy flask. ^note
9   Then my enemies will turn back
    on the day when I call upon thee; ^note
  for this I know, that God is on my side,
   10   with God to help me I will shout defiance. ^note

Book 2
   11   In God I trust and shall not be afraid;
  what can man do to me?
   12   I have bound myself with vows to thee, O God,
  and will redeem them with due thank-offerings;
   13   for thou hast rescued me from death ^note
  to walk in thy presence, in the light of life.
