1 Show me favor, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long the fighter presses hard on me.
2 My foes trample on me all day long, for many are those who fight against me arrogantly.
3 On the day I fear, I will trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?
5 All day they wrest my words; every plan they make against me is for harm.
6 They gather together, they lie in hiding; they mark my footsteps, just as they have lain in wait for my soul.
7 For their iniquity, will they escape? In anger bring down the peoples, O God.
8 You have counted my wanderings; put my tears in your flask. Are they not in your record?
9 Then my enemies will turn back on the day I call; this I know: God is on my side.
10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,
11 in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12 Your vows are binding on me, O God; I will pay thank offerings to you.
13 For you have rescued my soul from death; have you not kept my feet from slipping, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
