Psalms - Chapter 56 - New International Version
- Be merciful to me, my God, for my enemies are in hot pursuit; all day long they press their attack.
- My adversaries pursue me all day long; in their pride many are attacking me.
- When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
- In God, whose word I praise — in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?
- All day long they twist my words; all their schemes are for my ruin.
- They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, hoping to take my life.
- Because of their wickedness do not "let them escape; in your anger, God, bring the nations down.
- Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll "— are they not in your record?
- Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.
- In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise —
- in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?
- I am under vows to you, my God; I will present my thank offerings to you.
- For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
