Be merciful to me, O God
For I am under attack
My enemies slander me
All day long
In their pride they’re bringing me down
All day long
When I am afraid I’ll trust in you
In you, whose word I praise
In you I trust; what could man do to me?
I will not be afraid
My enemies are plotting against me
Eager to take my life
They devise their schemes and mark my steps
All day long
They twist my words to bring me hurt
All day long
For you have delivered me from death
And set my feet on solid ground
So that I could walk before you
In your light
