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