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

1 ¶ [[To the chief Musicianºª upon² Jonathelemrechokim,º Michtamº of David,º when the Philistinesº tookºª him in Gath.]]º Be mercifulºª unto me, O God:º for² manº would swallow me up;ºª he fightingºª dailyº² oppressethºª me. 2 Mine enemiesºª would dailyº² swallow¹ª [me] up:² for² [they be] manyº that fightºª against me, O thou most High.º 3 What timeº I am afraid,ºª I² will trustºª in² thee. 4 In Godº I will praiseºª his word,º in Godº I have put my trust;ºª I will not² fearºª what² fleshº can doºª unto me. 5 Every² dayº they wrestºª my words:º all² their thoughtsº [are] against² me for evil.º 6 They gather themselves together,ºª they hideºªªª themselves, they² markºª my steps,º when² they wait¹ª for² my soul.º 7 Shall they² escape¹² by² iniquity?º in [thine] angerº cast downºª the people,º O God.º 8 Thou tellestºª my wanderings:º putºª thou² my tearsº into thy bottle:º [are they] not² in thy book?º
