Psalms 56:2-13 ▼

2 My adversaries trample me all day, for many arrogantly fight against me.

3 When I am afraid, I will trust in You.

4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

5 They twist my words all day long; all their thoughts against me are evil.

6 They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.

7 Will they escape in spite of such sin? God, bring down the nations in wrath.

8 You Yourself have recorded my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your records?

9 Then my enemies will retreat on the day when I call. This I know: God is for me.

10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,

11 in God I trust; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

12 I am obligated by vows to You, God; I will make my thank offerings to You.

13 For You delivered me from death, even my feet from stumbling, to walk before God in the light of life.
