PsalmsPsalm 56 |
|
1 BE merciful to me, O God; for man has trodden me under foot; all the day long the fighting oppresses me. |
|
2 Mine enemies have daily trodden me under foot; for many warriors have risen against me. |
|
3 I fear not during the day, because I trust in thee. |
|
4 In God I will be glorified, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what man can do to me. |
|
5 All the day long they conspired against me and they devised evil against me. |
|
6 They will wait in hiding, they will watch my steps, inasmuch as they wish for my death. |
|
7 He has no deliverer, they have said. Condemn them with the condemnation of the Gentiles. |
|
8 O God, I have declared my faith unto thee; record thou my tears before thee in thy book. |
|
9 Then shall mine enemies turn back; and I will know I have a God. |
|
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 to me. |
|
12 To thee shall I perform my vows, O God; I will offer them to thee with thank offering. |
|
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may be pleasing in thy sight, O God, in the land of the living. |
