⁶They stir up strife, they lurk,
   they watch my steps.
As they hoped to have my life,
⁷   so repay^* them for their crime;
   in wrath cast down the peoples, O God!

⁸You have kept count of my tossings;
   put my tears in your bottle.
   Are they not in your record?
⁹Then my enemies will retreat
   on the day when I call.
   This I know, that^* God is for me.
¹⁰In God, whose word I praise,
   in the Lord, whose word I praise,
¹¹in God I trust; I am not afraid.
   What can a mere mortal do to me?
