Psalm 56

1 Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.

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

2 Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.

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

3 They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.

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

4 In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall 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 the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices are against me for evil.

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

6 They will dwell near and hide themselves; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.

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

7 Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.

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

8 O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou has set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.

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

9 Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon thee; behold, I know that thou art my God.

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, will I praise his word; in the Lord will I praise his saying.

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

11 I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.

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

12 The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.

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

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of 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.
