Open saved chapters

For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth.

Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.

Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.

They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.

In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.

All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.

They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.

Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.

O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou hast set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.

Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon thee; behold, I know that thou art my God.

In God will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.

I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.

The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.

About this reading layout

Reading paragraphs add editorial spacing between unchanged verses. They do not reconstruct the original manuscript’s paragraphs. Verse numbers, supplied line breaks and citation links are retained. Books such as Psalms and Proverbs keep verses on separate lines; original-language and comparison views stay aligned by verse. Choose One verse per line in Reading settings whenever you prefer.

Open Word Bridge above, or tap any verse number for its word connections, cross-references, audio, and share links. Dotted words have a plain-language definition.
