When I am afraid,
I will put my trust in You.\u00a0<\/sup>In God, whose word I praise,
In God I have put my trust;
I shall not be afraid.
What can mere<\/em> man do to me?
All day long they]<\/sup>distort my words;
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They watch my steps,
As they have waited to take<\/em> my life.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In anger put down the peoples, O God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Put my tears in Your bottle.
Are they<\/em> not in Your book?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This I know, that God is for me.
In God, whose<\/em> word I praise,
In the Lord, whose<\/em> word I praise,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0<\/sup>Your vows are binding<\/em> upon me, O God;
I will render thank offerings to You.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For You have delivered my soul from death,
Indeed my feet from stumbling,
So that I may walk before God
In the light of the living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
