1Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. 2Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. 3What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. 4In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. 5Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6υψωθητι επι τουϲ ουρανουϲ ο θϲ και επι παϲαν την γην η δοξα ϲου 7πακιδαϲ ητοιμαϲαν την ψυχην μου και κατεκαμψαν την ψυχην μου ωρυξαν προ προϲωπου μου βοθρον και ενεπεϲαν ειϲ αυτον διαψαλμα 8ετοιμη η καρδια μου ο θϲ ετοιμη η καρδια μου αϲομαι και ψαλω ϲοι εν τη δοξη μου 9εξεγερθητι η δοξα μου εξεγερθητι ψαλτηριον και κιθαρα εξεγερθηϲομαι ορθρου 10εξομολογηϲομαι ϲοι εν λαοιϲ κε ψαλω ϲοι εν εθνεϲιν
6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. 7Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God. 8Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? 9When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. 10In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
11οτι εμεγαλυνθη εωϲ των ουρανων το ελεοϲ ϲου και η αληθεια ϲου εωϲ των νεφελων 12ϋψωθητι επι τουϲ ουρανουϲ ο θϲ και επι παϲαν την γην η δοξα ϲου
11In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. 12Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. 13For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
