# Chapter 56
|
|
1 Be gracious to me, God, for a man is trampling me;
|
|
he fights and oppresses me all day long.
|
|
2 My adversaries trample me all day,
|
|
for many arrogantly fight against me.
|
|
3 When I am afraid,
|
|
I will trust in you.
|
|
4 In God, whose word I praise,
|
|
in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
|
|
What can mere mortals do to me?
|
|
5 They twist my words all day long;
|
|
all their thoughts against me are evil.
|
|
6 They stir up strife, they lurk,
|
|
they watch my steps
|
|
while they wait to take my life.
|
|
7 Will they escape in spite of such sin?
|
|
God, bring down the nations in wrath.
|
|
8 You yourself have recorded my wanderings.
|
|
Put my tears in your bottle.
|
|
Are they not in your book?
|
|
9 Then my enemies will retreat on the day when I call.
|
|
This I know: God is for me.
|
|
10 In God, whose word I praise,
|
|
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
|
|
11 in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
|
|
What can mere humans do to me?
|
|
12 I am obligated by vows to you, God;
|
|
I will make my thanksgiving sacrifices to you.
|
|
13 For you rescued me from death,
|
|
even my feet from stumbling,
|
|
to walk before God in the light of life. |
