Psalm 56
CSB Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Christian Standard BibleInternational Standard Version
1Be gracious to me, God, for a man is trampling me; he fights and oppresses me all day long.1Have mercy on me, God, because men have harassed me. Those who oppress me have fought against me all day long.
2My adversaries trample me all day, for many arrogantly fight against me.2Those who watch me all day have harassed me, for there are many who fight against me out of conceit.
3When I am afraid, I will trust in you.3On days when I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?4In God, whose word I praise, in God I put my trust. I will not fear what mortal man can do to me.
5They twist my words all day long; all their thoughts against me are evil.5All day long people distort what I say; all their schemes against me are for evil purposes.
6They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.6They gather together and hide in ambush. They watch my every step as they lie in wait for my life.
7Will they escape in spite of such sin? God, bring down the nations in wrath.7Cast them away because of their wickedness. In wrath, God, cast down these people!
8You yourself have recorded my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?8You have kept count of my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle— have not you recorded them in your book?
9Then my enemies will retreat on the day when I call. This I know: God is for me.9My enemies will retreat when I call on you. This has been my experience, because God is with me.
10In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,10In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,
11in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mere humans do to me?11in God I will put my trust. I will not fear what mortal man can do to me.
12I am obligated by vows to you, God; I will make my thank offerings to you.12God, I have taken vows before you; therefore I will offer thanksgiving sacrifices to you.
13For you rescued me from death, even my feet from stumbling, to walk before God in the light of life.13For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living!
