New International Version (NIV)

5Why should I fear when evil days come,

when wicked deceivers surround me—

5¶Why should I fear in days of adversity,

When the injustice of those who betray me surrounds me,

5Why should I fear in days of adversity,

When the iniquity of my foes surrounds me,

5¶Why should I fear in the days of evil,

When the wickedness of those who would betray me surrounds me [on every side],

5Why should I fear in times of trouble,

when wicked usurpers surround me?

5Why should I be afraid when trouble comes?

Why should I fear when sinners are all around me?

They are the kind of people who want to take advantage of me.
