Psalm 56:5-13

New International Version

⁵ All day long they twist my words;^(A)
    all their schemes are for my ruin.
⁶ They conspire,^(B) they lurk,
    they watch my steps,^(C)
    hoping to take my life.^(D)
7 Because of their wickedness do not^[a] let them escape;^(E)
    in your anger, God, bring the nations down.^(F)

⁸ Record my misery;
    list my tears on your scroll^[b](G)—
    are they not in your record?^(H)
9 Then my enemies will turn back^(I)
    when I call for help.^(J)
    By this I will know that God is for me.^(K)

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

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