| Chapter 56 |
| Be
merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. |
| Mine
enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. |
| What
time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. |
| In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my
trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. |
| Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts
are against me for evil. |
|
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. |
|
Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God. |
| Thou tellest my
wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? |
| When I cry unto thee, then
shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. |
| In God will I praise his word: in the
LORD will I praise his word. |
| In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. |
| Thy vows are upon
me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. |
| 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? |
