Psalms 56:5-13

⁵They torture me all the day, they ceaselessly plan to hurt me,

⁶banded together in secret, watching my every step, as those who hope for my death.

⁷Pay them out for their sin, O God, hurl down the strong in your anger.

⁸You yourself count my wanderings. Put in your bottle my tears are they not in your book?

⁹Then shall my foes be turned back in the day that I call. Of this I am sure, because God is for me.

¹⁰In God I maintain my cause, in the Lord I maintain my cause.

¹¹In God I fearlessly trust, what can people do to me?

¹²Your vows are upon me, O God, I will render thank-offerings to you;

¹³because you have saved me from death, my feet from stumbling, to the end that I walk before God in the light of the living.
