O God, show Your mercy to me, for my foes are in hot pursuit; they press their attack on me all the time. My accusers pursue me all day long, many attack me.
You have a record of my laments; my tears are stored in Your wineskin. Are they not written on Your scroll? My enemies turn back when I call on You for help.
Now I know that God is for me. In God Whose word I praise.
In God I trust without fear. What can mortals do against me? I am bound to You by vows, o God; I shall offer my thanksgiving.
