Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

Wherefore should I fear {H3372}{H8799)} in the days {H3117} of evil {H7451}, when the iniquity {H5771} of my heels {H6120} shall compass {H5437}{H8799)} me about?

Why should I fear when the days bring trouble, when the evil of my pursuers surrounds me,

Why should I fear in times of trouble, when wicked usurpers surround me?

Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When iniquity at my heels compasseth me about?
