1. To the Overseer. --`On the Dumb Dove far off.' --A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,
2. Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O most High,
3. The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.
4. In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.
5. All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil,
6. They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.
