Psalms 56
56
In God I Trust
1For the music director: “A Silent Dove Far Away,” a Michtam of David, when the Philistines had seized him in Gath.
2Be gracious to me, O God! For man has crushed me, fighting all day he oppresses me.
3My foes trample me all day. For many are fighting me arrogantly.
4In a day when I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.
5In God—I keep praising His word— in God I trust, I will not fear. What can mere flesh do to me?
6All day they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
7They stir up strife; they lie hidden. They mark my steps, eager to take my soul.
8In spite of such sin, will they escape? In fierce anger, O God, cast down such people!
9You have recorded my wanderings. You put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book?
10Then my enemies will turn back in the day I call. This I know—that God is for me.
11In God—I keep praising His word— in Adonai—I keep praising His word—
12in God I trust, I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
13I am under vows to You, O God. I will present thank offerings to You.
14For You have delivered my soul from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

1Have pity on me, O God, because people are harassing me.
All day long warriors oppress me.
2All day long my enemies spy on me.
They harass me.
There are so many fighting against me.
3Even when I am afraid, I still trust you.
4I praise God’s word.
I trust God.
I am not afraid.
What can mere flesh ⌞and blood⌟ do to me?
5All day long my enemies twist my words.
Their every thought is an evil plan against me.
6They attack, and then they hide.
They watch my every step as they wait to take my life.
7With the wrong they do, can they escape?
O God, angrily make the nations fall.
8(You have kept a record of my wanderings.
Put my tears in your bottle.
They are already in your book.)
9Then my enemies will retreat when I call ⌞to you⌟.
This I know: God is on my side.
10I praise God’s word.
I praise the Lord’s word.
11I trust God.
I am not afraid.
What can mortals do to me?
12I am bound by my vows to you, O God.
I will keep my vows by offering songs of thanksgiving to you.
13You have rescued me from death.
You have kept my feet from stumbling
so that I could walk in your presence, in the light of life.
