Psalms 56

1 God, have mercy on me because I'm being trampled. All day long the enemy oppresses me.

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

2 My attackers trample me all day long because I have so many enemies. Exalted one,

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

3 whenever I'm afraid, I put my trust in you—

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

4 in God, whose word I praise. I trust in God; I won't be afraid. What can mere flesh 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 All day long they frustrate my pursuits; all their thoughts are evil against me.

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

6 They get together and set an ambush— they are watching my steps, hoping for my death.

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

7 Don't rescue them for any reason! In wrath bring down the people, God!

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

8 You yourself have kept track of my misery. Put my tears into your bottle— aren't they on your scroll already?

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

9 Then my enemies will retreat when I cry out. I know this because God is mine.

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

10 God: whose word I praise. The LORD: whose word I praise.

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

11 I trust in God; I won't be afraid. What can anyone do to me?

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

12 I will fulfill my promises to you, God. I will present thanksgiving offerings to you

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

13 because you have saved my life from death, saved my feet from stumbling so that I can walk before God in the light of life.

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