Psalms 56:1-7

1 Have pity on me, O God, because people are harassing me. All day long warriors oppress me.

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 enemies spy on me. They harass me. There are so many fighting against me.

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

3 Even when I am afraid, I still trust you.

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

4 I praise the word of God. I trust God. I am not afraid. What can mere flesh [and blood] 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 my enemies twist my words. Their every thought is an evil plan against me.

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

6 They attack, and then they hide. They watch my every step as they wait to take my life.

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

7 With the wrong they do, can they escape? O God, angrily make the nations fall.

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