Psalm 56 :: King James Version (KJV)

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