56:2 Be merciful to me, O God, for people are trampling upon me; all day long they keep up their attack.
56:3 My foes pursue me all day long, with their forces too many to number.
56:4 When I am terrified, I place my trust in you.
56:5 In God, whose word I praise, in God I place my trust and know no fear; what can people do to me?
56:6 All day long they slander me; their one thought is to bring evil upon me.
56:7 In groups they hide in ambush and spy on my every step, determined to take my life.
56:8 Shall they escape in their iniquity? Strike down the nations, O God, in your anger.
56:9 You have kept count of my wanderings and stored my tears in your flask, recording all these in your book.
56:10 My foes will turn back when I call out to you. Of this I am confident: that God is on my side.
56:11 In God, whose word I praise— in the Lord, whose word I praise—
56:12 in God I place my trust and know no fear; what can people do to me?
56:13 I am bound, O God, by vows to you, and I will pay you my debt of gratitude.
