*In God I Trust*

To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.

\[1\] Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;

all day long an attacker oppresses me;

\[2\] my enemies trample on me all day long,

for many attack me proudly.

\[3\] 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?

\[12\] I must perform my vows to you, O God;

I will render thank offerings to you.

\[13\] For you have delivered my soul from death,

yes, my feet from falling,

that I may walk before God

in the light of life.

*Let Your Glory Be over All the Earth*

To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.

\[1\] Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,

for in you my soul takes refuge;

in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,

till the storms of destruction pass by.

\[2\] I cry out to God Most High,

to God who fulfills his purpose for me.

\[3\] He will send from heaven and save me;

he will put to shame him who tramples on me. Selah

God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness!

\[4\] My soul is in the midst of lions;

I lie down amid fiery beasts—

the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows,

whose tongues are sharp swords.

\[5\] Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!

Let your glory be over all the earth!

\[6\] They set a net for my steps;

my soul was bowed down.

They dug a pit in my way,

but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah

\[7\] My heart is steadfast, O God,

my heart is steadfast!

I will sing and make melody!

\[8\] Awake, my glory!

Awake, O harp and lyre!

I will awake the dawn!

\[9\] I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;

I will sing praises to you among the nations.

\[10\] For your steadfast love is great to the heavens,

your faithfulness to the clouds.

\[11\] Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!

Let your glory be over all the earth! (ESV)
