Have mercy, God, for foes oppress me; they bully me the whole day long. I am but one, while they are many; yet though I fear, my trust proves strong: I praise and claim God’s faithful promise; in God I trust and will not fear. Why should I dread the strength of mortals? God’s saving help is always near. Their only thought is how to harm me; like packs of dogs they lurk and glare. Yet God, by whom my tears are counted, will turn them back and grant my prayer. I praise and claim God’s faithful promise; in God I trust and will not fear. Why should I dread the strength of mortals? God’s saving help is always near. To you, O God, my vows have bound me, and heartfelt thanks I gladly give. My soul from death, my feet from stumbling: your saving deeds have let me live. I praise and claim God’s faithful promise; in God I trust and will not fear. Why should I dread the strength of mortals? God’s saving help is always near.Have mercy, God, for foes oppress me; they bully me the whole day long.
