Psalms 56:5-13

5All day longH3605H3117 they twistH6087 my wordsH1697; allH3605 their thoughtsH4284 are on myH5921 demiseH7451.6They conspireH1481, they lurkH6845, theyH1992 watchH8104 my stepsH6119 whileH834 they waitH6960 to take my lifeH5315.7In spite ofH5921 such sinH205, will they escapeH6403?1 In Your angerH639, O GodH430, cast downH3381 the nationsH5971.

8YouH859 have taken accountH5608 of my wanderingsH5112.2PutH7760 my tearsH1832 in Your bottleH4997—are they notH3808 in Your bookH5612?9ThenH227 my enemiesH341 will retreatH7725H268on the dayH3117 I cry for helpH7121.By thisH2088 I will knowH3045 thatH3588 GodH430 is on my side.
10In GodH430, whose wordH1697 I praiseH1984,in the LORDH3068, whose wordH1697 I praiseH1984,11in GodH430 I trustH982; I will notH3808 be afraidH3372.WhatH4100 can manH120 doH6213 to me?
12Your vowsH5088 are upon meH5921, O GodH430;I will renderH7999 thank offeringsH8426 to You.13ForH3588 You have deliveredH5337 my soulH5315 from deathH4194H3808,and my feetH7272 from stumblingH1762,that I may walkH1980 beforeH6440 GodH430in the lightH216 of lifeH2416.
