Psalms 56

NRSA

NIV

1 Be gracious to me, O God, for people trample on me; all day long foes oppress me;
1 Be merciful to me, my God, for my enemies are in hot pursuit; all day long they press their attack.
2 my enemies trample on me all day long, for many fight against me. O Most High,
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.
3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I am not afraid; what can 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 seek to injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
5 All day long they twist my words; all their schemes are for my ruin.
6 They stir up strife, they lurk, they watch my steps. As they hoped to have my life,
6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, hoping to take my life.
7 so repay them for their crime; in wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
7 Because of their wickedness do not let them escape; in your anger, God, bring the nations down.
8 You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your record?
8 Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll — are they not in your record?
9 Then my enemies will retreat in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me.
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,
10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise—
11 in God I trust; I am not afraid. What can a mere mortal do to me?
11 in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?
12 My vows to you I must perform, O God; I will render thank offerings to you.
12 I am under vows to you, my God; I will present my thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, so that I may 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.
