To the Overseer. --`On the Dumb Dove far off.' --A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,
-
Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many are fighting against me, O most High,
-
The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.
-
In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.
-
All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts are for evil,
-
They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.
-
By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.
-
My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou--place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?
-
Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God is for me.
-
In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.
-
In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,
-
On me, O God, are Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.
-
For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!
