Psalms 56 — Context

All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul.

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

Thou numberest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle; Are they not in thy book?

Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know, that God is for me.

In God (I will praise his word), In Jehovah (I will praise his word),

In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me?
