1 S how me Your loving-kindness, O God, for man has walked on me. All day long the one who tries to keep me down fights with me.

2 A ll day long those who hate me have walked on me. For there are many who fight against me with pride.

3 W hen I am afraid, I will trust in You.

4 I praise the Word of God. I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can only a man do to me?

5 A ll day long they change my words to say what I did not say. They are always thinking of ways to hurt me.

6 T hey go after me as in a fight. They hide themselves. They watch my steps, as they have waited to take my life.

7 B ecause they are bad, do not let them get away. Bring down the people in Your anger, O God.

8 Y ou have seen how many places I have gone. Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book?

9 T hen those who hate me will turn back when I call. I know that God is for me.

10 I praise the Word of God. I praise the Word of the Lord.

11 I n God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12 I am under an agreement with You, O God. I will give You gifts of thanks.

13 F or You have set my soul free from death. You have kept my feet from falling, so I may walk with God in the light of life.
