Psalms 56 — Context

All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

They conspire and lurk, watching my steps, they are eager to take my life.

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

You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren't they in your book?

Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this, that God is for me.

In God, I will praise his word. In Yahweh, I will praise his word.

I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
