LEB - Psalms - 56

56:1  Of David. A miktam. When the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be gracious to me, O God, because humankind has trampled me; fighting all the day he oppresses me.

56:2  My enemies trample all day, because many are attacking me proudly.

56:3  ⌞When⌟ I fear, I trust you.

56:4  God, whose word I praise, God I trust; I do not fear. What can mere flesh do to me?

56:5  All day they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

56:6  They attack, they hide, they watch my ⌞steps⌟, as they lie in wait for my life.

56:7  Because of iniquity will they escape? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

56:8  You have kept count of my wonderings. Put my tears in your bottle; are they not in your book?

56:9  Then my enemies will turn back ⌞when⌟ I call. This I know because God is for me.

56:10  God, whose word I praise, Yahweh, whose word I praise,

56:11  God I trust; I do not fear. What can mere humankind do to me?

56:12  My vows to you, O God, are binding upon me. I will pay thank offerings to you,

56:13  because you have delivered my soul from death. Have you not kept my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
