My heartis steadfast,O God,my heartis steadfast;I will sing,yes, I will singpraises!
He will not feareviltidings;His heartis steadfast,trustingin the LORD.
The wickedhave laida snarefor me, Yet I have not goneastrayfrom Your precepts.
I saidto the LORD,"You are my God;Giveear,O LORD,to the voiceof my supplications.
Keepme from the jawsof the trapwhich they have setfor me, And from the snaresof those who doiniquity.
I soughtthe LORD,and He answeredme, And deliveredme from allmy fears.
For withoutcausethey hidtheir netfor me; Withoutcausethey duga pitfor my soul.
His mischiefwill returnupon his own head,And his violencewill descendupon his own pate.
