Be merciful to me, my God,
for my enemies are
in hot pursuit;
all day long they
press their attack.
My adversaries pursue me all day long;
in their pride
many are attacking me.
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
In God, whose word
I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere
mortals do to me?
All day long they twist my words;
all their schemes
are for my ruin.
They conspire, they lurk,
they watch my
steps,
hoping to take my
life.
Because of their wickedness do not let them escape;
in your anger,
God, bring the nations down.
Record my misery;
list my tears on
your scroll—
are they not in
your record?
Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for
help.
By this I will
know that God is for me.
In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose
word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can man do to
me?
I am under vows to you, my God;
I will present my
thank offerings to you.
For you have delivered me from death
and my feet from
stumbling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of
life. Psalm 56
