Psalms 56:3-13 ▼

3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust and faith in You.

4 In God, whose word I praise; In God I have put my trust; I shall not fear. What can mere man do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words and say hurtful things; All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They attack, they hide and lurk, They watch my steps, As they have [expectantly] waited to take my life.

7 Cast them out because of their wickedness. In anger bring down the peoples, O God!

8 You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not recorded in Your book?

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

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

11 In God have I put my trust and confident reliance; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12 Your vows are binding upon me, O God; I will give thank offerings to You.

13 For You have rescued my soul from death, Yes, and my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of life.
