Psalm 56 (New American Standard)
View In My BibleSupplication for Deliverance and Grateful Trust in God.
1 Be gracious to me, O God, for man has a1trampled upon me; bFighting all day long he 2oppresses me. 2 My foes have c3trampled upon me all day long, For dthey are many who 4fight proudly against me. 3 eWhen I am 5afraid, fI will 6put my trust in You. 4 7In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust ; I shall not be afraid. 8What can mere gman do to me? 5 All day long they h9distort my words ; All their i10thoughts are against me for evil. 6 They j11attack, they lurk, They 12watch my ksteps, As they have 13waited to take my llife. 7 Because of wickedness, m14cast them forth, In anger 15put down the peoples, O God ! 8 You 16have taken account of my wanderings ; Put my 17tears in Your bottle. Are they not in 18Your book ? 9 Then my enemies will 19turn back 20in the day when I call ; This I know, nthat 21God is for me. 10 In God, whose word I praise, In the LORD, whose word I praise, 11 In God I have put my otrust, I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? 12 Your 22vows are binding upon me, O God ; I will render thank offerings to You. 13 For You have 23delivered my soul from death, pIndeed 24my feet from stumbling, So that I may 25walk before God In the 26light of the qliving.New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
