Psalms 56:

1. Be merciful to me, O God, for men hotly pursue me; all day long they press their attack.
2. My slanderers pursue me all day long; many are attacking me in their pride.
3. When I am afraid, I will trust in you.
4. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?
5. All day long they twist my words; they are always plotting to harm me.
6. They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, eager to take my life.
7. On no account let them escape; in your anger, O God, bring down the nations.
8. Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll - are they not in your record?
9. Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.
10. In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD , whose word I praise-
11. in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12. I am under vows to you, O God; I will present my thank offerings to you.
13. For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
