Psalms 56:3-11 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

3. When I fear, I trust you.

4. God, whose word I praise, God I trust; I do not fear. What can mere flesh do to me?

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

6. They attack, they hide, they watch my steps, as they lie in wait for my life.

7. Because of iniquity will they escape? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

8. You have kept count of my wonderings. Put my tears in your bottle; are they not in your book?

9. Then my enemies will turn back when I call. This I know because God is for me.

10. God, whose word I praise, Yahweh, whose word I praise,

11. God I trust; I do not fear. What can mere humankind do to me?
