Chapter 56 |
| 1 | Be merciful
unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth
me. |
| 2 |
Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that
fight against me, O thou most High. |
| 3 | What time I am afraid, I will
trust in thee. |
|
4 | In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my
trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. |
| 5 | Every day they
wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. |
| 6 | They
gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they
wait for my soul. |
|
7 | Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast
down the people, O God. |
| 8 | Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears
into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? |
|
9 | When I cry unto thee,
then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. |
| 10 |
In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. |
| 11 |
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
|
| 12 | Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. |
| 13 |
For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from
falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? |
