Psalms 56
Berean Standard Bible
1Be merciful to me, O God,
for men are hounding me;
all day they press their attack. 2My enemies pursue me all day long,
for many proudly assail me. 3When I am afraid,
I put my trust in You. 4In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust.
I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me? 5All day long they twist my words;
all their thoughts are on my demise. 6They conspire, they lurk,
they watch my steps
while they wait to take my life. 7In spite of such sin, will they escape?*
In Your anger, O God, cast down the nations. 8You have taken account of my wanderings.*
Put my tears in Your bottle—
are they not in Your book? 9Then my enemies will retreat
on the day I cry for help.
By this I will know that God is on my side. 10In God, whose word I praise,
in the LORD, whose word I praise, 11in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me? 12Your vows are upon me, O God;
I will render thank offerings to You. 13For You have delivered my soul from death,
and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
