Psalms 56

World English Bible Classic · 13 verses · Read aloud in 1:39

  1. 1 Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.
  2. 2 My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.
  3. 3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
  4. 4 In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
  5. 5 All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
  6. 6 They conspire and lurk, watching my steps. They are eager to take my life.
  7. 7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.
  8. 8 You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?
  9. 9 Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.
  10. 10 In God, I will praise his word. In Yahweh, I will praise his word.
  11. 11 I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
  12. 12 Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.
  13. 13 For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
