* Be merciful unto me , O God : for man would swallow me up ; he fighting daily oppresseth me . * Mine enemies would daily swallow me up : for they be many that fight against me , O thou most High . * What time I am afraid , I will trust in thee . * In God I will praise his word , in God I have put my trust ; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me . * Every day they wrest my words : all their thoughts are against me for evil . * They gather themselves together , they hide themselves , they mark my steps , when they wait for my soul . * Shall they escape by iniquity ? in thine anger cast down the people , O God . * Thou tellest my wanderings : put thou my tears into thy bottle : are they not in thy book ? * When I cry unto thee , then shall mine enemies turn back : this I know ; for God is for me . * In God will I praise his word : in the LORD will I praise his word . * In God have I put my trust : I will not be afraid what man can do unto me . * Thy vows are upon me , O God : I will render praises unto thee . * 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 ? * Be merciful unto me , O God , be merciful unto me : for my soul trusteth in thee : yea , in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge , until these calamities be overpast . * I will cry unto God most high ; unto God that performeth all things for me . * He shall send from heaven , and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up . Selah . God shall send forth his mercy and his truth . * My soul is among lions : and I lie even among them that are set on fire , even the sons of men , whose teeth are spears and arrows , and their tongue a sharp sword . * Be thou exalted , O God , above the heavens ; let thy glory be above all the earth . * They have prepared a net for my steps ; my soul is bowed down : they have digged a pit before me , into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves . Selah . * My heart is fixed , O God , my heart is fixed : I will sing and give praise . * Awake up , my glory ; awake , psaltery and harp : I myself will awake early . * I will praise thee , O Lord , among the people : I will sing unto thee among the nations . * For thy mercy is great unto the heavens , and thy truth unto the clouds . * Be thou exalted , O God , above the heavens : let thy glory be above all the earth . * Do ye indeed speak righteousness , O congregation ? do ye judge uprightly , O ye sons of men ?
