Psalms 56:1-5
11God, please be kind to me, and help me, because people are fighting me. My enemies are attacking me every day.
2They chase me all the time! Those proud people want to catch me, and there are many of them!
3But when I am afraid, I will trust in you.
4By God's help, I will praise his word. By God's help, I will trust in him. I will not be afraid. People can do nothing to hurt me!
5All the time, they bring trouble on me. They are always thinking of ways to hurt me.
Notes
- 1. Psalms 56:1 Saul was trying to kill David, his servant. David ran away to Gath, the Philistine town where Goliath had lived. The Philistines were enemies of God's people, so David was afraid. He told God about it in this psalm. See 1 Samuel 21:10–22:2. ↩
