In God I Trust
56For the choir director; according to Jonath elem rehokim. A Mikhtam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled upon me; Fighting all day long he oppresses me.
2
My foes have trampled upon me all day long, For they are many who fight proudly against me.
3
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.
4
In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?
5
All day long they distort my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6
They attack, they lurk, They watch my steps, As they have waited to take my life.
7
Because of wickedness, cast them forth, In anger put down the peoples, O God!
8
You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book?
9
Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call; This I know, that God is for me.
10
In God, whose word I praise, In the Lord, whose word I praise,
11
In God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12
Your vows are binding upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.
13
For You have delivered my soul from death, Indeed my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of the living.
