Psalm 56:2-13

New International Version

³ When I am afraid,^(C) I put my trust in you.^(D)
4     In God, whose word I praise—^(E)
in God I trust and am not afraid.^(F)
    What can mere mortals do to me?^(G)

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

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

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^(S) to you, my God;
    I will present my thank offerings to you.
¹³ For you have delivered me from death^(T)
    and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
    in the light of life.^(U)
