(Psalm 56:1-4; 8-11)
Be merciful to me, O God,
because I am under attack;
my enemies persecute me all the time.
All day long my opponents attack me.
There are so many who fight against me.
When I am afraid, O Lord Almighty,
I put my trust in you.
I trust in God and am not afraid;
I praise him for what he has promised.
What can a mere human being do to me?
You know how troubled I am;
You have kept a record of my tears.
Aren’t they listed in your book?
The day I call to you,
my enemies will be turned back.
I know this: God is on my side—
The Lord, whose promises I praise.
In him I trust, and I will not be afraid.
