New Testament

Psalms 56:1-10 New Century Version (NCV)

1. God, be merciful to me because people are chasing me;the battle has pressed me all day long.

2. My enemies have chased me all day;there are many proud people fighting me.

3. When I am afraid,I will trust you.

4. I praise God for his word.I trust God, so I am not afraid.What can human beings do to me?

5. All day long they twist my words;all their evil plans are against me.

6. They wait. They hide.They watch my steps,hoping to kill me.

7. God, do not let them escape;punish the foreign nations in your anger.

8. You have recorded my troubles.You have kept a list of my tears.Aren’t they in your records?

9. On the day I call for help, my enemies will be defeated.I know that God is on my side.

10. I praise God for his word to me;I praise the Lord for his word.
