Psalms 56

1 Take my side, God - I'm getting kicked around, stomped on every day.

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

2 Not a day goes by but somebody beats me up; They make it their duty to beat me up.

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

3 When I get really afraid I come to you in trust.

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

4 I'm proud to praise God; fearless now, I trust in God. What can mere mortals do?

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

5 They don't let up - they smear my reputation and huddle to plot my collapse.

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

6 They gang up, sneak together through the alleys To take me by surprise, wait their chance to get me.

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

7 Pay them back in evil! Get angry, God! Down with these people!

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

8 You've kept track of my every toss and turn through the sleepless nights, Each tear entered in your ledger, each ache written in your book.

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

9 If my enemies run away, turn tail when I yell at them, Then I'll know that 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 I'm proud to praise God, proud to praise God.

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

11 Fearless now, I trust in God; what can mere mortals do to me?

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

12 God, you did everything you promised, and I'm thanking you with all my heart.

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

13 You pulled me from the brink of death, my feet from the cliff-edge of doom. Now I stroll at leisure with God in the sunlit fields 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.
