1 For the director of music. To \cf15\I the tune of "A Dove on Distant Oaks." Of David. A \cf15\I miktam. When the Philistines had seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for men hotly pursue me; all day long they press their attack.

[jfb]
2 My slanderers pursue me all day long; many are attacking me in their pride.
[jfb]
3 When I am afraid, I will trust in you.
[jfb]
4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words; they are always plotting to harm me.
[gsn]
[jfb]
6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, eager to take my life.
[gsn]
[jwc]
7 On no account let them escape; in your anger, O God, bring down the nations.

8 Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll -- are they not in your record?
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
9 Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.
[jfb]
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 I am under vows to you, O God; I will present my thank offerings to you.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
13 For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
[gsn]
