Psalms 56:2-13 ▼

2 My foes treat me harshly all the day; yes, many are my attackers. O Most High,

3 when I am afraid, in you I place my trust.

4 I praise the word of God; I trust in God, I do not fear. What can mere flesh do to me?

5 All the day they foil my plans; their every thought is of evil against me.

6 They hide together in ambush; they watch my every step; they lie in wait for my life.

7 They are evil; watch them, God! Cast the nations down in your anger!

8 My wanderings you have noted; are my tears not stored in your flask, recorded in your book?

9 My foes turn back when I call on you. This I know: God is on my side.

10 I praise the word of God, I praise the word of the LORD.

11 In God I trust, I do not fear. What can man do to me?

12 I have made vows to you, God; with offerings I will fulfill them,

13 For you have snatched me from death, kept my feet from stumbling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
