New Testament

Psalm 56:2-9 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

2. Those who tell lies about me chase me all day long. Many proud people are attacking me.

3. When I'm afraid, I will trust in you.

4. I trust in God. I praise his word. I trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can people do to me?

5. All day long they twist my words. They are always making plans to harm me.

6. They get together and hide. They watch my steps. They hope to kill me.

7. Make sure you don't let them escape. God, bring down the nations in your anger.

8. Write down my poem of sadness. List my tears on your scroll. Aren't you making a record of them?

9. My enemies will turn back when I call out to you for help. Then I will know that God is on my side.
