Book of Psalms, No. 56
Psalms 56 NASB - New American Standard Bible No. 56 of the Psalms—New American Standard Bible (NASB)
- ¶ Be gracious to me, O God, for man has [a]1trampled upon me;
[b]Fighting all day long he 2oppresses me. - My foes have [c]3trampled upon me all day long,
For [d]they are many who 4fight proudly against me. - [e]When I am 5afraid,
[f]I will 6put my trust in You. - 7In God, whose word I praise,
In God I have put my trust;
I shall not be afraid.
8What can mere [g]man do to me? - All day long they [h]9distort my words;
All their [i]10thoughts are against me for evil. - They [j]11attack, they lurk,
They 12watch my [k]steps,
As they have 13waited to take my [l]life. - Because of wickedness, [m]14cast them forth,
In anger 15put down the peoples, O God! - ¶ You 16have taken account of my wanderings;
Put my 17tears in Your bottle.
Are they not in 18Your book? - Then my enemies will 19turn back 20in the day when I call;
This I know, [n]that 21God is for me. - In God, whose word I praise,
In the LORD, whose word I praise, - In God I have put my [o]trust, I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me? - Your 22vows are binding upon me, O God;
I will render thank offerings to You. - For You have 23delivered my soul from death,
[p]Indeed 24my feet from stumbling,
So that I may 25walk before God
In the 26light of the [q]living.
