Psalms 56:5

Read in context

Psalms 56:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.

7 In spite of such sin, will they escape? In Your anger, O God, cast down the nations.
