3 When I am afraid,

I put my trust in you.

4 In God, whose word I praise,

in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.

What can flesh do to me?

5 All day long they injure my cause;

all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They stir up strife, they lurk;

they watch my steps,

as they have waited for my life.

7 For their crime will they escape?

In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!

8 You have kept count of my tossings;

put my tears in your bottle.

Are they not in your book?

9 Then my enemies will turn back

in the day when I call.

This I know, that God is for me.

10 In God, whose word I praise,

in the Lord, whose word I praise,

11 in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.

What can man do to me?

3 What time I am afraid,

I will trust in thee.

4 In God I will praise his word,

In God I have put my trust; I will not fear

What flesh can do unto me.

5 Every day they wrest my words:

All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,

They mark my steps,

When they wait for my soul.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity?

In thine anger cast down the people, O God.

8 Thou tellest my wanderings:

Put thou my tears into thy bottle:

Are they not in thy book?

9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back:

This I know; for God is for me.

10 In God will I praise his word:

In the Lord will I praise his word.

11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid

What man can do unto me.

3 But when I am afraid,

I will put my trust in you.

4 I praise God for what he has promised.

I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?

What can mere mortals do to me?

5 They are always twisting what I say;

they spend their days plotting to harm me.

6 They come together to spy on me—

watching my every step, eager to kill me.

7 Don’t let them get away with their wickedness;

in your anger, O God, bring them down.

8 You keep track of all my sorrows.

You have collected all my tears in your bottle.

You have recorded each one in your book.

9 My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help.

This I know: God is on my side!

10 I praise God for what he has promised;

Yes, I praise the Lord for what he has promised.

11 I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?

What can mere mortals do to me?

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;

I will not fear.

What can flesh do to me?

5 All day they twist my words;

All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They gather together,

They hide, they mark my steps,

When they lie in wait for my life.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity?

In anger cast down the peoples, O God!

8 You number my wanderings;

Put my tears into Your bottle;

Are they not in Your book?

9 When I cry out to You,

Then my enemies will turn back;

This I know, because God is for me.

10 In God (I will praise His word),

In the Lord (I will praise His word),

11 In God I have put my trust;

I will not be afraid.

What can man do to me?

3 When I am afraid,

I will trust you.

4 I praise God for his word.

I trust God, so I am not afraid.

What can human beings do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words;

all their evil plans are against me.

6 They wait. They hide.

They watch my steps,

hoping to kill me.

7 God, do not let them escape;

punish the foreign nations in your anger.

8 You have recorded my troubles.

You have kept a list of my tears.

Aren’t they in your records?

9 On the day I call for help, my enemies will be defeated.

I know that God is on my side.

10 I praise God for his word to me;

I praise the Lord for his word.

11 I trust in God. I will not be afraid.

What can people do to me?

3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.

4 In God (I will praise his word),

In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid;

What can flesh do unto me?

5 All the day long they wrest my words:

All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,

They mark my steps,

Even as they have waited for my soul.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity?

In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

8 Thou numberest my wanderings:

Put thou my tears into thy bottle;

Are they not in thy book?

9 Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call:

This I know, that God is for me.

10 In God (I will praise his word),

In Jehovah (I will praise his word),

11 In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid;

What can man do unto me?

3 In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee. 4 In God will I praise his word, in God I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me? 5 All the day long they wrest my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil. 6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves; they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul. 7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

8 Thou countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? 9 Then shall mine enemies return backward in the day when I call: this I know, for God is for me. 10 In God will I praise his word; in Jehovah will I praise his word. 11 In God have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

3 Even when I am afraid, I still trust you. 

4 I praise God’s word. 

I trust God. 

I am not afraid. 

What can mere flesh ⸤and blood⸥ do to me? 

5 All day long my enemies twist my words. 

Their every thought is an evil plan against me. 

6 They attack, and then they hide. 

They watch my every step as they wait to take my life. 

7 With the wrong they do, can they escape? 

O God, angrily make the nations fall. 

8 (You have kept a record of my wanderings. 

Put my tears in your bottle. 

They are already in your book.)

they watch my steps

while they wait to take my life.

7 Will they escape in spite of such sin?

God, bring down the nations in wrath.
