Psalms - Chapter 56

1. Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

2. Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they be] many that fight against me, O thou most High.

3. What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

4. In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

5. Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are] against me for evil.

6. They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

7. Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast down the people, O God.

8. Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: [are they] not in thy book?

9. When I cry [unto thee], then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God [is] for me.

10. In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word.

11. In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

12. Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

13. For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt] not [thou deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
