Psalms 56

Have mercy on me, O God, for men trample upon me; all day long foes oppress me;

my enemies trample upon me all day long, for many fight against me proudly.

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

In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust without a fear. What can flesh do to me?

All day long they seek to injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

They band themselves together, they lurk, they watch my steps. As they have waited for my life,

so recompense them for their crime; in wrath cast down the peoples, O God!

You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle! Are they not in your book?

Then my enemies will be turned back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me.

In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise,

in God I trust without a fear. What can man do to me?

My vows to you I must perform, O God; I will render thank offerings to you.

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