56:1 Be gracious to me, O God, for people trample on me; all day long foes oppress me; 56:2 my enemies trample on me all day long, for many fight against me. O Most High, 56:3 when I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 56:4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I am not afraid; what can flesh do to me? 56:5 All day long they seek to injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil. 56:6 They stir up strife, they lurk, they watch my steps. As they hoped to have my life, 56:7 so repay them for their crime; in wrath cast down the peoples, O God! 56:8 You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your record? 56:9 Then my enemies will retreat 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 trust; I am not afraid. What can a mere mortal do to me? 56:12 My vows to you I must perform, O God; I will render thank offerings to you. 56:13 For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of life. 56:14
