for people persecute me;
all day long my adversary oppresses me. My watchful foes persecute me all day long;
many are my adversaries, O Exalted One. When I am afraid, I trust in You, in God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust;
I am not afraid;
what can mortalsbmortals Lit. “flesh.” do to me? All day long they cause me grief in my affairs,cthey cause me grief in my affairs Meaning of Heb. uncertain.

they watch my every move, hoping for my death. Cast them out for their evil;
subdue peoples in Your anger, O God. dMeaning of verse uncertain. You keep count of my wanderings;
put my tears into Your flask,
into Your record. Then my enemies will retreat when I call on You;
this I know, that God is for me. In God, whose word I praise,

I am not afraid;
what can mere humans do to me? I must pay my vows to You, O God;
I will render thank offerings to You. For You have saved me from death,
my foot from stumbling,
that I may walk before God in the light of life.
