2Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.
3Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.
4They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.
5In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.
6All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices are against me for evil.
7They will dwell near and hide themselves; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
8Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.
