³ In the day when I am afraid,
    I will trust in You.
⁴ In God whose word I praise,
    in God I have trusted; I will not fear.
    What can mere flesh do to me?

⁵ Every day they twist my words;
    all their thoughts are against me for evil.
⁶ They stir up strife, they lurk,
    they watch my steps,
    when they wait for my life.
⁷ Should there be deliverance for them on account of wickedness?
    In Your anger cast down the peoples, O God.

⁸ You take account of my wandering;
    put my tears in Your bottle;
    are they not in Your book?
⁹ In the day I cry to You,
    then my enemies will turn back;
    this I know, that God is for me.

¹⁰ In God whose word I praise,
    in the Lord whose word I praise,
¹¹ in God I trust, I will not fear;
    what can a man do to me?

¹² Your vows are on me, O God;
    I will complete them with thank offerings to You;
¹³ for You have delivered my soul from death,
    even my feet from stumbling,
to walk before God
    in the light of the living.

    and David his ten thousands’? ”
