Psalm 56 New International Version (NIV)1 Be merciful to me, my God,for my enemies are in hot pursuit;all day long they press their attack.2 My adversaries pursue me all day long;in their pride many are attacking me.3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.4 In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid.What can mere mortals do to me?5 All day long they twist my words;all their schemes are for my ruin.6 They conspire, they lurk,they watch my steps,hoping to take my life.7 Because of their wickedness do not[c] let them escape;in your anger, God, bring the nations down.8 Record my misery;list my tears on your scroll[d]—are they not in your record?9 Then my enemies will turn backwhen I call for help.By this I will know that God is for me.10 In God, whose word I praise,in the Lord, whose word I praise—11 in God I trust and am not afraid.What can man do to me?12 I am under vows to you, my God;I will present my thank offerings to you.13 For you have delivered me from deathand my feet from stumbling,that I may walk before Godin the light of life.Source: Bible GatewayEmail: elora.akpotosevbe@yahoo.com
