1. Have mercy on me, O God, for men are attacking me!All day long hostile enemies are tormenting me.
2. Those who anticipate my defeat attack me all day long.Indeed, many are fighting against me, O Exalted One.
3. When I am afraid,I trust in you.
4. In God – I boast in his promise – in God I trust, I am not afraid.What can mere men do to me?
5. All day long they cause me trouble;they make a habit of plotting my demise.
6. They stalk and lurk;they watch my every step,as they prepare to take my life.
7. Because they are bent on violence, do not let them escape!In your anger bring down the nations, O God!
