Psalms 56:3-13 ▼

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

4 In God, whose word I praise, In God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?

5 All day long they distort my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They attack, they lurk, They watch my heels, As they have hoped to take my life.

7 On account of their wickedness, will they have an escape? 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 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 Yahweh, whose word I praise,

11 In God I trust, I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?

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

13 For You have delivered my soul from death, Indeed my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of the living.
