Psalms 56:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Be merciful to me, O God, for men are hounding me; all day they press their attack.

2 My enemies pursue me all day long, for many proudly assail me.

3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.

4 In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.
