Psalm 56:2-7

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)
