Psalms 56

1 Be merciful to me, O God, because I am under attack; my enemies persecute me all the time.

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

2 All day long my opponents attack me. There are so many who fight against me.

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

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

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

4 I trust in God and am not afraid; I praise him for what he has promised. What can a mere human being do to me?

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

5 My enemies make trouble for me all day long; they are always thinking up some way to hurt me!

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

6 They gather in hiding places and watch everything I do, hoping to kill me.

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

7 Punish them, O God, for their evil; defeat those people in your anger!

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

8 You know how troubled I am; you have kept a record of my tears. Aren't they listed in your book?

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

9 The day I call to you, my enemies will be turned back. I know this: God is on my side -

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

10 the Lord, whose promises I praise.

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

11 In him I trust, and I will not be afraid. What can a mere human being do to me?

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

12 O God, I will offer you what I have promised; I will give you my offering of thanksgiving,

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

13 because you have rescued me from death and kept me from defeat. And so I walk in the presence of God, in the light that shines on the living.

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