Psalms 56:1-8 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. God, people have attacked me, so be merciful to me. They have been chasing me all day, closing in to attack me.

2. My enemies come at me constantly. There are too many fighters to count.

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

4. I trust God, so I am not afraid of what people can do to me! I praise God for his promise to me.

5. My enemies are always twisting my words. They are always making plans against me.

6. They hide together and watch every move I make, hoping for some way to kill me.

7. God, send them away because of the bad things they did. Show your anger and defeat those people.

8. You know I am very upset. You know how much I have cried. Surely you have kept an account of all my tears.
