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

Record my misery;
    list my tears on your scroll[b](C)
    are they not in your record?(D)
Then my enemies will turn back(E)
    when I call for help.(F)
    By this I will know that God is for me.(G)

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(H) to you, my God;
    I will present my thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered me from death(I)
    and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
    in the light of life.(J)
