1
Be merciful to me, my God, for my enemies are in hot pursuit; all day long they press their attack.
2
My adversaries pursue me all day long; in their pride many are attacking me.
3
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4
In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?
5
All day long they twist my words; all their schemes are for my ruin.
6
They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, hoping to take my life.
7
Because of their wickedness do not let them escape; in your anger, God, bring the nations down.
