When I am afraid,(A) I put my trust in you.(B)
    In God, whose word I praise—(C)
in God I trust and am not afraid.(D)
    What can mere mortals do to me?(E)

All day long they twist my words;(F)
    all their schemes are for my ruin.
They conspire,(G) they lurk,
    they watch my steps,(H)
    hoping to take my life.(I)
Because of their wickedness do not[a] let them escape;(J)
    in your anger, God, bring the nations down.(K)

Record my misery;
    list my tears on your scroll[b](L)
    are they not in your record?(M)
Then my enemies will turn back(N)
    when I call for help.(O)
    By this I will know that God is for me.(P)

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