Psalm 56: When I am Afraid

In God I Trust

To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.

Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;
  all day long an attacker oppresses me;
my enemies trample on me all day long,
  for many attack me proudly.
When I am afraid,
  I put my trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise,
  in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?

All day long they injure my cause;
  all their thoughts are against me for evil.
They stir up strife, they lurk;
  they watch my steps,
  as they have waited for my life.
For their crime will they escape?
  In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!

You have kept count of my tossings;
  put my tears in your bottle.
  Are they not in your book?
Then my enemies will turn back
  in the day when I call.
  This I know, that God is for me.
In God, whose word I praise,
  in the Lord, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
  What can man do to me?

I must perform my vows to you, O God;
  I will render thank offerings to you.
For you have delivered my soul from death,
  yes, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God
  in the light of life.

(Psalm 56, ESV)
