Psalms 56 (WEB)
  1. 1

    Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

  2. 2

    My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

  3. 3

    When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

  4. 4

    In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

  5. 5

    All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

  6. 6

    They conspire and lurk, watching my steps. They are eager to take my life.

  7. 7

    Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

  8. 8

    You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?

  9. 9

    Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.

  10. 10

    In God, I will praise his word. In the LORD, I will praise his word.

  11. 11

    I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

  12. 12

    Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.

  13. 13

    For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
