Psalms 56:3-11

³When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

⁴In God, whose word I praise— in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid; what can mere man do to me?

⁵All the day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

⁶They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, and they mark my steps, just as they have waited for my life.

⁷Do not let them escape doing iniquity. Bring down the peoples in your anger, God.

⁸You number my wanderings and put my tears into your bottle; are they not in your book?

⁹Then my enemies will turn back on the day that I call to you; this I know, that God is for me.

¹⁰In God—whose word I praise, in Yahweh—whose word I praise,

¹¹in God I trust, I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?
