Psalms:56
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Be merciful to me ,
O God ,
for man would swallow me up .
Fighting all the day long he oppresses me .
*
My enemies would swallow me up all the day long ,
for they are many who fight proudly against me .
*
What time I am afraid ,
I will put my trust in thee .
*
In God I will praise his word .
In God I have put my trust .
I will not be afraid .
What can flesh do to me ?
*
All the day long they wrest my words .
All their thoughts are against me for evil .
*
They gather themselves together .
They hide themselves .
They mark my steps ,
even as they have waited for my soul .
*
Shall they escape by iniquity ?
In anger cast down the peoples ,
O God .
*
Thou number my wanderings .
Put thou my tears into thy bottle .
Are they not in thy book ?
*
Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call .
This I know ,
that God is for me .
*
In God I will praise [
his ]
word .
In LORD I will praise [
his ]
word .
*
In God I have put my trust .
I will not be afraid .
What can man do to me ?
*
Thy vows are upon me ,
O God .
I will render thank-offerings to thee .
*
For thou have delivered my soul from death ,
and my feet from falling ,
that I may walk before God in the light of the living .
