OEBcth - Psalms - 56

56:1  O God, be gracious to me, for people trample upon me, all the day righting and pressing me.

56:2  All the day enemies trample me; many there be who contend with me bitterly.

56:3  In the day of my terror I trust in you.

56:4  In God I maintain my cause, in God I fearlessly trust. What can flesh do to me?

56:5  They torture me all the day, they ceaselessly plan to hurt me,

56:6  banded together in secret, watching my every step, as those who hope for my death.

56:7  Pay them out for their sin, O God, hurl down the strong in your anger.

56:8  You yourself count my wanderings. Put in your bottle my tears are they not in your book?

56:9  Then shall my foes be turned back in the day that I call. Of this I am sure, because God is for me.

56:10  In God I maintain my cause, in the Lord I maintain my cause.

56:11  In God I fearlessly trust, what can people do to me?

56:12  Your vows are upon me, O God, I will render thank-offerings to you;

56:13  because you have saved me from death, my feet from stumbling, to the end that I walk before God in the light of the living.
