Psalms 56
Ready to read
1
Be gracious to me, O God, for people trample on me; all day long foes oppress me;
2
my enemies trample on me all day long, for many fight against me. O Most High,
3
when I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4
In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I am not afraid; what can flesh do to me?
5
All day long they seek to injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6
They stir up strife, they lurk, they watch my steps. As they hoped to have my life,
7
so repay [1] them for their crime; in wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
8
You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your record?
9
Then my enemies will retreat in the day when I call. This I know, that [2] God is for me.
10
In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,
11
in God I trust; I am not afraid. What can a mere mortal do to me?
12
My vows to you I must perform, O God; I will render thank offerings to you.
13
For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of life.
