Psalms 56 AMP

1. Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled on me; All day long the adversary oppresses and torments me.

2. My enemies have trampled upon me all day long, For they are many who fight proudly against me.

3. When I am afraid, I will put my trust and faith in You.

4. In God, whose word I praise; In God I have put my trust; I shall not fear. What can mere man do to me?

5. All day long they twist my words and say hurtful things; All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6. They attack, they hide and lurk, They watch my steps, As they have [expectantly] waited to take my life.

7. Cast them out because of their wickedness. In anger bring down the peoples, O God!

8. You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not recorded in Your book?

9. Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call; This I know, that God is for me.

10. In God, whose word I praise, In the Lord, whose word I praise,

11. In God have I put my trust and confident reliance; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12. Your vows are binding upon me, O God; I will give thank offerings to You.

13. For You have rescued my soul from death, Yes, and my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of life.
