Psalm 56

New International Version NIV

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

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.

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 twist my words; all their schemes are for my ruin.

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

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

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

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—

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

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

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

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. Set to "The Silent Dove in the Distance." By David; a mikhtam, when the P'lishtim captured him in Gat: Show me favor, God; for people are trampling me down -all day they fight and press on me.

2 Those who are lying in wait for me would trample on me all day. For those fighting against me are many. Most High,

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

4 In God - I praise his word -in God I trust; I have no fear; what can human power do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words; their only thought is to harm me.

6 They gather together and hide themselves, spying on my movements, hoping to kill me.

7 Because of their crime, they cannot escape; in anger, God, strike down the peoples.

8 You have kept count of my wanderings; store my tears in your water-skin -aren't they already recorded in your book?

9 Then my enemies will turn back on the day when I call; this I know: that God is for me.

10 In God - I praise his word -in ADONAI - I praise his word -

11 in God I trust; I have no fear; what can mere humans do to me?

12 God, I have made vows to you; I will fulfill them with thank offerings to you.

13 For you rescued me from death, you kept my feet from stumbling, so that I can walk in God's presence, in the light of life.
