Chapter 56
|
1
|
Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me
up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. |
2
|
Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be
many that fight against me, O thou most High. |
3
|
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. |
4
|
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my
trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. |
5
|
Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are
against me for evil. |
6
|
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,
they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. |
7
|
Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast
down the people, O God. |
8
|
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into
thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
A Bottle Full
of Tears - |
9
|
When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn
back: this I know; for God is for me. |
10
|
In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise
his word. |
11
|
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what
man can do unto me. |
12
|
Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises
unto thee. |
13
|
For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not
thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before
God in the light of the living? |
