Psalm 56
ESV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionInternational Standard Version
1Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me;1Have mercy on me, God, because men have harassed me. Those who oppress me have fought against me all day long.
2my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly.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 put my 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 shall not be afraid. What can flesh 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.
5All day long they injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for 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, as they have waited for my life.6They gather together and hide in ambush. They watch my every step as they lie in wait for my life.
7For their crime will they escape? In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!7Cast them away because of their wickedness. In wrath, God, cast down these people!
8You have kept count of my tossings; 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 turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that 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 shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?11in God I will put my trust. I will not fear what mortal man can do to me.
12I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you.12God, I have taken vows before you; therefore I will offer thanksgiving sacrifices to you.
13For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may 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!
