God's Word Translation

Psalms 56:1-9 God's Word Translation (GW)

1. Have pity on me, O God, because people are harassing me.All day long warriors oppress me.

2. All day long my enemies spy on me.They harass me.There are so many fighting against me.

3. Even when I am afraid, I still trust you.

4. I praise the word of God.I trust God.I am not afraid.What can mere flesh ⌊and blood⌋ do to me?

5. All day long my enemies twist my words.Their every thought is an evil plan against me.

6. They attack, and then they hide.They watch my every step as they wait to take my life.

7. With the wrong they do, can they escape?O God, angrily make the nations fall.

8. (You have kept a record of my wanderings.Put my tears in your bottle.They are already in your book.)

9. Then my enemies will retreat when I call ⌊to you⌋.This I know: God is on my side.
