Text size

1 Be merciful unto me O God for man would swallow me up he fighting daily oppresseth me ⚑

2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up for they be many that fight against me O thou most High ⚑

3 What time I am afraid I will trust in thee ⚑

4 In God I will praise his word in God I have put my trust I will not fear what flesh can do unto me ⚑

5 Every day they wrest my words all their thoughts are against me for evil ⚑

6 They gather themselves together they hide themselves they mark my steps when they wait for my soul ⚑

7 Shall they escape by iniquity in thine anger cast down the people O God ⚑

8 Thou tellest my wanderings put thou my tears into thy bottle are they not in thy book ⚑

9 When I cry unto thee then shall mine enemies turn back this I know for God is for me ⚑

10 In God will I praise his word in the LORD will I praise his word ⚑

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