1. Be merciful unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; he oppresses me fighting me daily.
2. My enemies would daily swallow me up, for they are many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3. When I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4. In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5. Every day my life is filled with sorrow; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
