Daniel Lyons' Notes

Ps-56


The Text

v1

Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

v2

My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

v3

When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

v4

In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

v5

All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

v6

They conspire and lurk, watching my steps. They are eager to take my life.

v7

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

v8

You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren't they in your book?

v9

Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.

v10

In God, I will praise his word. In Yahweh, I will praise his word.

v11

I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

v12

Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.

v13

For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
