56:1  God, have mercy on me because I’m being trampled. All day long the enemy oppresses me.
56:2  My attackers trample me all day long because I have so many enemies. Exalted one,
56:3  whenever I’m afraid, I put my trust in you—
56:4  in God, whose word I praise. I trust in God; I won’t be afraid. What can mere flesh do to me?
56:5  All day long they frustrate my pursuits; all their thoughts are evil against me.
56:6  They get together and set an ambush— they are watching my steps, hoping for my death.
56:7  Don’t rescue them for any reason! In wrath bring down the people, God!
56:8  You yourself have kept track of my misery. Put my tears into your bottle— aren’t they on your scroll already?
56:9  Then my enemies will retreat when I cry out. I know this because God is mine.
56:10  God: whose word I praise. The Lord: whose word I praise.
56:11  I trust in God; I won’t be afraid. What can anyone do to me?
56:12  I will fulfill my promises to you, God. I will present thanksgiving offerings to you
56:13  because you have saved my life from death, saved my feet from stumbling so that I can walk before God in the light of life.
