New King James Version

Psalms 56:1-6 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up;Fighting all day he oppresses me.

2. My enemies would hound me all day,For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.

3. Whenever I am afraid,I will trust in You.

4. In God (I will praise His word),In God I have put my trust;I will not fear.What can flesh do to me?

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

6. They gather together,They hide, they mark my steps,When they lie in wait for my life.
