[For the music director; according to the yonath-elem-rechovim style; a prayer of David, written when the Philistines captured him in Gath.] Have mercy on me, O God, for men are attacking me! All day long hostile enemies are tormenting me. |

when you deliver my life from death. You keep my feet from stumbling, so that I might serve God as I enjoy life. |
