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?
