The words of confidence in Psalm 56

psalm 56

Read David’s words carefully:

¹Be merciful to me, my God,
for my enemies are in hot pursuit;
all day long they press their attack.
²My adversaries pursue me all day long;
in their pride many are attacking me.

³When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
⁴ In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?

⁵All day long they twist my words;
all their schemes are for my ruin.
⁶They conspire, they lurk,
they watch my steps,
hoping to take my life.
⁷Because of their wickedness do not let them escape;
in your anger, God, bring the nations down.

⁸Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll—
are they not in your record?
⁹Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for help.
By this I will know that God is for me.

¹⁰In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise—
¹¹in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can man do to me?

¹²I am under vows to you, my God;
I will present my thank offerings to you.
¹³For you have delivered me from death
and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.

(Psalm 56: 1-13)
