Psalm 56
CSB Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Christian Standard BibleEnglish Standard Version
1Be gracious to me, God, for a man is trampling me; he fights and oppresses me all day long.1Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me;
2My adversaries trample me all day, for many arrogantly fight against me.2my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly.
3When I am afraid, I will trust in you.3When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?4In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
5They twist my words all day long; all their thoughts against me are evil.5All day long they injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.6They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps, as they have waited for my life.
7Will they escape in spite of such sin? God, bring down the nations in wrath.7For their crime will they escape? In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
8You yourself have recorded my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?8You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?
9Then my enemies will retreat on the day when I call. This I know: God is for me.9Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me.
10In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,10In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,
11in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mere humans do to me?11in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12I am obligated by vows to you, God; I will make my thank offerings to you.12I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you.
13For you rescued me from death, even my feet from stumbling, to walk before God in the light of life.13For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
