Psalms 56:5-13

5All day long they twist my words; all their schemes are for my ruin.

6They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, hoping to take my life.

7Because of their wickedness do not let them escape; in your anger, God, bring the nations down.

8Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll— are they not in your record?

9Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.

10In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise—

11in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?

12I am under vows to you, my God; I will present my thank offerings to you.

13For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
