Psalms 56

MLV(i) 1 Be merciful to me, O God, because man would swallow me up. Fighting all the day long he oppresses me. 2 My enemies would swallow me up all the day long, because they are many who fight proudly against me.
3 I am afraid in the day, I will put my trust in you. 4 I will praise his word in God. I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
5 All the day long they pervert my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil. 6 They gather themselves together. They hide themselves. They mark my steps, even as they have waited for my soul.
7 Shall they escape by wickedness? Cast down the peoples, in anger, O God. 8 You number my wanderings. Put my tears into your skin-container. Are they not in your book? 9 Then will my enemies turn back in the day that I call. This I know, that God is for me.
10 I will praise his word in God. I will praise his word in Jehovah. 11 I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12 Your vows are upon me, O God. I will render thank offerings to you. 13 Because you have delivered my soul from death and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
