Psalms 56
King James Version

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?
