Psalm 56 - World English Bible
Law History Wisdom Prophets Gospels Acts Epistles Apocalyptic
1 Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.
2 My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, For they are many who fight proudly against me.
3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
4 In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They conspire and lurk, Watching my steps, they are eager to take my life.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.
8 You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren't they in your book?
9 Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this, that God is for me.
10 In God, I will praise his word. In Yahweh, I will praise his word.
11 I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12 Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered my soul from death, And prevented my feet from falling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
