New Living Translation

King James Bible

  • For the choir director: A psalma of David, regarding the time the Philistines seized him in Gath. To be sung to the tune “Dove on Distant Oaks.”

    O God, have mercy on me,
    for people are hounding me.
    My foes attack me all day long.
  • Be Merciful to Me, God

    {To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.} Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
  • I am constantly hounded by those who slander me,
    and many are boldly attacking me.
  • Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
  • But when I am afraid,
    I will put my trust in you.
  • What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
  • I praise God for what he has promised.
    I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
    What can mere mortals do to me?
  • In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
  • They are always twisting what I say;
    they spend their days plotting to harm me.
  • Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
  • They come together to spy on me —
    watching my every step, eager to kill me.
  • They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
  • Don’t let them get away with their wickedness;
    in your anger, O God, bring them down.
  • Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
  • You keep track of all my sorrows.b
    You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
    You have recorded each one in your book.
  • Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
  • My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help.
    This I know: God is on my side!
  • When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
  • I praise God for what he has promised;
    yes, I praise the LORD for what he has promised.
  • In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
  • I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
    What can mere mortals do to me?
  • In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
  • I will fulfill my vows to you, O God,
    and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help.
  • Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
  • For you have rescued me from death;
    you have kept my feet from slipping.
    So now I can walk in your presence, O God,
    in your life-giving light.
  • 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?
