Restored

Psalm 56:1-13

¹ God, have mercy on me because I’m being trampled. All day long the enemy oppresses me. ² My attackers trample me all day long because I have so many enemies. Exalted one, ³ whenever I’m afraid, I put my trust in you ⁴ in God, whose word I praise. I trust in God; I won’t be afraid. What can mere flesh do to me? ⁵ All day long they frustrate my pursuits; all their thoughts are evil against me. ⁶ They get together and set an ambush they are watching my steps, hoping for my death. ⁷ Don’t rescue them for any reason! In wrath bring down the people, God! ⁸ You yourself have kept track of my misery. Put my tears into your bottle aren’t they on your scroll already? ⁹ Then my enemies will retreat when I cry out. I know this because God is mine. ¹⁰ God: whose word I praise. The LORD: whose word I praise. ¹¹ I trust in God; I won’t be afraid. What can anyone do to me? ¹² I will fulfill my promises to you, God. I will present thanksgiving offerings to you ¹³ because you have saved my life from death, saved my feet from stumbling so that I can walk before God in the light of life.
