Psalms 56:1 - Psalms 56:11

Psalms 56
1 Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up; for they be many that fight against me, O thou Most High.

3 What! am I afraid? I will trust in thee.

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.

5 Every day they wrest my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.

8 Thou tellest my wanderings; put thou my tears into thy bottle; are they not in thy book?

9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back; this I know; for God is for me.

10 In God will I praise his word; in the Lord will I praise his word.

11 In God have I put my trust; I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
