Psalm 56A Call for God's Protection
|
|
|
|
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.
