56:1 Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled upon me; Fighting all day long he oppresses me. 56:2 My foes have trampled upon me all day long, For they are many who fight proudly against me. 56:3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. 56:4 In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me? 56:5 All day long they distort my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil. 56:6 They attack, they lurk, They watch my steps, As they have waited to take my life. 56:7 Because of wickedness, cast them forth, In anger put down the peoples, O God! 56:8 You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book? 56:9 Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call; This I know, that God is for me. 56:10 In God, whose word I praise, In the Lord, whose word I praise, 56:11 In God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? 56:12 Your vows are binding upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You. 56:13 For You have delivered my soul from death, Indeed my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of the living. 56:14
