David, praying to God in confidence of his Word, complaineth of his enemies.

1 ¶ [[To the chief Musicianº ª upon² Jonathelemrechokim,º Michtamº of David,º when the Philistinesº tookº ª him in Gath.]]º Be mercifulº ª unto me, O God:º for² manº would swallow me up;º ª he fightingº ª dailyº ² oppressethº ª me. 2 Mine enemiesº ª would dailyº ² swallow¹ ª [me] up:² for² [they be] manyº that fightº ª against me, O thou most High.º 3 What timeº I am afraid,º ª I² will trustº ª in² thee. 4 In Godº I will praiseº ª his word,º in Godº I have put my trust;º ª I will not² fearº ª what² fleshº can doº ª unto me. 5 Every² dayº they wrestº ª my words:º all² their thoughtsº [are] against² me for evil.º 6 They gather themselves together,º ª they hideº ª ª ª themselves, they² markº ª my steps,º when² they wait¹ ª for² my soul.º 7 Shall they² escape¹ ² by² iniquity?º in [thine] angerº cast downº ª the people,º O God.º 8 Thou tellestº ª my wanderings:º putº ª thou² my tearsº into thy bottle:º [are they] not² in thy book?º
