 They band together; they lie in wait; * they spy upon my footsteps; because they seek my life.

Shall they escape despite their wickedness? * O God, in your anger, cast down the peoples.

You have noted my lamentation; put my tears into your bottle; * are they not recorded in your book?

Whenever I call upon you, my enemies will be put to flight; * this I know, for God is on my side.

In God the, whose word I praise, in God I trust and will not be afraid, * for what can mortals do to me?

I am bound by the vow I made to you, O God; * I will present to you thank&#8209;offerings;

For you have rescued my soul from death and my feet from stumbling, * that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful, for I have taken refuge in you; * in the shadow of your wings will I take refuge until this time of trouble has gone by.

I will call upon the Most High God, * the God who maintains my cause.

He will send from heaven and save me; he will confound those who trample upon me; * God will send forth his love and his faithfulness.
