56:1 | | Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. |
56:2 | | Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. |
56:3 | | What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. |
56:4 | | In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. |
56:5 | | Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. |
56:6 | | They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. |
56:7 | | Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God. |
56:8 | | Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? |
56:9 | | When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. |
56:10 | | In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. |
56:11 | | In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. |
56:12 | | Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. |
56:13 | | For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? |
