Psalms 56

¹Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up;

²Mine enemies would daily swallow me up:

³What time I am afraid,

⁴In God I will praise his word,

⁵Every day they wrest my words:

⁶They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,

⁷Shall they escape by iniquity?

⁸Thou tellest my wanderings:

⁹When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back:

¹⁰In God will I praise his word:

¹¹In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid

¹²Thy vows are upon me, O God:

¹³For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling,
