Psalm 56

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

9 Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.

9 If my enemies run away, turn tail when I yell at them, Then I'll know that God is on my side.

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

10 I'm proud to praise God, proud to praise God.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
