In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?



5
All day long they twist my words;
all their schemes are for my ruin.

6
They conspire, they lurk,
they watch my steps,
hoping to take my life.

7
Because of their wickedness do not[a] let them escape;
in your anger, God, bring the nations down.



8
Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll[b]—
are they not in your record?

9
Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for help.
By this I will know that God is for me.



10
In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise—

11
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can man do to me?



12
I am under vows to you, my God;
I will present my thank offerings to you.
