Psalms Chapter 56 (NIV)
undefined
Psalm 56For the director of music. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” Of David. A miktam. When the Philistines had seized him in Gath.Be merciful to me, O God, for men hotly pursue me;all day long they press their attack.
undefined
My slanderers pursue me all day long;many are attacking me in their pride.
undefined
When I am afraid,I will trust in you.
undefined
In God, whose word I praise,in God I trust; I will not be afraid.What can mortal man do to me?
undefined
All day long they twist my words;they are always plotting to harm me.
undefined
They conspire, they lurk,they watch my steps,eager to take my life.
undefined
On no account let them escape;in your anger, O God, bring down the nations.
undefined
Record my lament;list my tears on your scroll—are they not in your record?
undefined
Then my enemies will turn backwhen I call for help.By this I will know that God is for me.
undefined
In God, whose word I praise,in the Lord, whose word I praise—
undefined
in God I trust; I will not be afraid.What can man do to me?
undefined
I am under vows to you, O God;I will present my thank offerings to you.
undefined
For you have delivered me from deathand my feet from stumbling,that I may walk before Godin the light of life.
