Psalms 56:4-11 in English

⁴ In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?

⁵ All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil.

⁶ They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul.

⁷ Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

⁸ Thou numberest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle; Are they not in thy book?

⁹ Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know, that God is for me.

¹⁰ In God (I will praise his word), In Jehovah (I will praise his word),

¹¹ In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me?

⁴ He sent from heaven and saved me; he gave to reproach them that trampled on me: God has sent forth his mercy and his truth;

⁵ and he has delivered my soul from the midst of lions' whelps: I lay down to sleep, though troubled. As for the sons of men, their teeth are arms and missile weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword.

⁶ Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.

⁷ They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it themselves. Pause.

⁸ My heart, O God, is ready, my heart is ready: I will sing, yea will sing psalms.

⁹ Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I will awake early.

¹⁰ O Lord, I will give thanks to thee among the nations: I will sing to thee among the Gentiles.
