Prayer for Relief from Tormentors

To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Silent Dove in Distant Lands.” A Michtam of David when the Philistines captured him in Gath.

1 Be ^amerciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up;
Fighting all day he oppresses me.

2 My enemies would ^ahound me all day,
For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.

3 Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You.

4 In God (I will praise His word),
In God I have put my trust;
^aI will not fear.
What can flesh do to me?

5 All day they twist my words;
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
