11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

11 In God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

13 For You have delivered my soul from death, Indeed my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of the living.
