Psalms 56
1
Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2
Mine enemies would daily swallow
me up: for
they be
many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5
Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts
are against me for evil.
6
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7
Shall they escape by iniquity? in
thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle:
are they not in thy book?
9
When I cry
unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God
is for me.
10
In God will I praise
his word: in the LORD will I praise
his word.
11
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12
Thy vows
are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13
For thou hast delivered my soul from death:
wilt not
thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
