PSALMS 56
1
God, please be gracious to me, for people are persecuting me; my attackers fight against me all day long.
2
My enemies chase me down all the time—there are many of them, attacking me in their arrogance.

Notes
+
The word used here means “height” and it is thought this refers to superiority or arrogance.
3
But when I'm afraid, I trust in you.
4
I thank God for his promises. I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me?
1
Notes
+
Literally, “flesh.”
5
They constantly twist my words against me; they spend all their time thinking of evil things to do to me.
6
They gather together in their hiding places to keep watch on me, hoping to kill me.
7
Will they escape when they do so much evil? God, in anger bring these people down!
8
You've kept track of all my wanderings. You've collected all my tears in your bottle. You've kept a record of each one.
1
Notes
+
To record the extent of the psalmist's sorrow.
9
Then those who hate me will run away when I call for your help. For I know this: God is for me!
10
I thank God for his promises. I thank the Lord for his promises.
11
I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me?
12
God, I will keep my promises to you. I will give thank offerings to you,
13
for you have saved me from death and kept me from falling. Now I walk in the presence of God, in the light that gives life.
