56 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?
