[1] God, people have attacked me, so be merciful to me. They have been constantly chasing me and fighting me.
[2] My enemies attack me constantly. There are too many fighters to count.
[3] When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
[4] I trust God, so I am not afraid of what people can do to me! I praise God for his promise to me.
[5] My enemies are always twisting my words. They are always making plans against me.
[6] They hide together and watch my every move, hoping for some way to kill me.
[7] God, send them away because of the bad things they did. Send them away to ˻suffer˼ the anger of foreign nations.
[8] You know I am very upset. You know how much I have cried. Surely you have kept an account of all my tears.
[9] So, defeat my enemies when I call to you for help. I know you can do it. You are God!
[10] I praise God for his promise. I praise the Lord for his promise to me.
[11] I trust God, so I am not afraid of what people can do to me!
[12] God, I made special promises to you. And I will do what I promised. I will give you my thank offering.
[13] Why? Because you saved me from death. You kept me from being defeated. So I will worship God in the light that only living people can see.
