Psalms 56

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 <To the chief music-maker; put to Jonath elem rehokim. Of David. Michtam. When the Philistines took him in Gath.> Have mercy on me, O God, for man is attempting my destruction; every day he makes cruel attacks against me.

2 My haters are ever ready to put an end to me; great numbers are lifting themselves up against me.

3 In the time of my fear, I will have faith in you.

4 In God will I give praise to his word; in God have I put my hope; I will have no fear of what flesh may do to me.

5 Every day they make wrong use of my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They come together, they are waiting in secret places, they take note of my steps, they are waiting for my soul.

7 By evil-doing they will not get free from punishment. In wrath, O God, let the peoples be made low.

8 You have seen my wanderings; put the drops from my eyes into your bottle; are they not in your record?

9 When I send up my cry to you, my haters will be turned back; I am certain of this, for God is with me.

10 In God will I give praise to his word; in the Lord will I give praise to his word.

11 In God have I put my hope, I will have no fear of what man may do to me.

12 I keep the memory of my debt to you, O God; I will give you the offerings of praise.

13 Because you have taken my soul from the power of death; and kept my feet from falling, so that I may be walking before God in the light of life.

New International Version NIV

1 Be merciful to me, my God, for my enemies are in hot pursuit; all day long they press their attack.

2 My adversaries pursue me all day long; in their pride many are attacking me.

3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

4 In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words; all their schemes are for my ruin.

6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, hoping to take my life.

7 Because of their wickedness do not let them escape; in your anger, God, bring the nations down.

8 Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll — are they not in your record?

9 Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.

10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise—

11 in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?

12 I am under vows to you, my God; I will present my thank offerings to you.

13 For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
