056:001
Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

056:002
Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.

056:003
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

056:004
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

056:005
Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.

056:006
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

056:007
Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.

056:008
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

056:009
When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

056:010
In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.

056:011
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

056:012
Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

056:013
For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
