b'Psalms 561To him that excelleth. A Psalm of David on Michtam, concerning the dumb dove in a far country, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up: he fighteth continually and vexeth me.Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for many fight against me, O thou most High.When I was afraid, I trusted in thee.I will rejoice in God, because of his word, I trust in God, and will not fear what flesh can do unto me.Mine own words grieve me daily: all their thoughts are against me to do me hurt.They gather together, and keep themselves close: they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul.They think they shall escape by iniquity: O God, cast these people down in thine anger.191'
