1. BE MERCIFUL and gracious to me, O God, for man would trample me or devour me; all the day long the adversary oppresses me.
2. They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up or trample me all day long, for they are many who fight against me, O Most High!
3. What time I am afraid, I will have confidence in and put my trust and reliance in You.
4. By [the help of] God I will praise His word; on God I lean, rely, and confidently put my trust; I will not fear. What can man, who is flesh, do to me?
