Psalms 56

English Standard Version (ESV)

Back to Bible
1 [1]ⓐ ⓑ ⓒ Be gracious to me, O God, for manⓓ tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me;
2 my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly.
3 When I am afraid, Iⓔ put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust;ⓕ I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they injure my cause;[2] all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 Theyⓖ stir up strife, theyⓗ lurk; theyⓘ watch my steps, as they have waited for my life.
7 For their crime will they escape? ⓙIn wrathⓚ cast down the peoples, O God!
8 You have kept count of my tossings;[3] ⓛput my tears in your bottle. ⓜAre they not in your book?
9 Then my enemies will turn back ⓝin the day when I call. This I know, that[4] ⓞ God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,
11 in God I trust;ⓟ I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12 I must perform myⓠ vows to you, O God; I willⓡ render thank offerings to you.
13 ⓢ For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, ⓣthat I may walk before God ⓤin the light of life.
