Psalms 56 : 1 - 13
Chapter 56
1 | Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up; Fighting all day he oppresses me.
|
2 | My enemies would hound me all day, For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.
|
3 | Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.
|
4 | In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?
|
5 | All day they twist my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.
|
6 | They gather together, They hide, they mark my steps, When they lie in wait for my life.
|
7 | Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God!
|
8 | You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?
|
9 | When I cry out to You, Then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me.
|
10 | In God (I will praise His word), In the LORD (I will praise His word),
|
11 | In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
|
12 | Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God; I will render praises to You,
|
13 | For You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?
