He me oppresseth, while he doth
against me daily fight.
They daily would me swallow up,Line 2
that hate me spitefully;
For they be many that do fight
against me, O most hie.
When I'm afraid, I'le trust in thee:Line 3
In God I'le praise his word,Line 4
I will not fear what flesh can do,
my trust is in the Lord.
Each day they wrest my words, their thoughtsLine 5
'gainst me are all for ill.
They meet, they lurk, they mark my stepsLine 6
waiting my soul to kill.
But shall they by iniquitieLine 7
escape thy judgement so?
O God, with indignation, down
do thou the people throw.
My wandrings all what they have beenLine 8
thou know'st, their number took.
Into thy bottle put my tears,
are they not in thy book?
My foes shall, when I cry, turn back,Line 9
I know't, God is for me.
In God his word I'le praise, his wordLine 10
in God shall praised be.
In God I trust, I will not fearLine 11
what man can do to me.
Thy vows upon me are, O God:Line 12
I'le render praise to thee.
Wilt thou not, who from death me sav'd,Line 13
