Psalms 56 — Context

In God will I give praise to his word; in God have I put my hope; I will have no fear of what flesh may do to me.

Every day they make wrong use of my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

They come together, they are waiting in secret places, they take note of my steps, they are waiting for my soul.

By evil-doing they will not get free from punishment. In wrath, O God, let the peoples be made low.

You have seen my wanderings; put the drops from my eyes into your bottle; are they not in your record?

When I send up my cry to you, my haters will be turned back; I am certain of this, for God is with me.

In God will I give praise to his word; in the Lord will I give praise to his word.
