Psalms 56 (I Fear Not What Man Can Do to Me)

Psalms Chapter 56

I Fear Not What Man Can Do to Me
Listen to "Psalms 56 (I fear not, what man can do to me)" on Spreaker.

For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth.

1 Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me. 2 Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me. 3 They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee. 4 In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.

…

8 All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices are against me for evil. 6 They will dwell near and hide themselves; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul. 7 Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath. 8 O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou hast set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.

9 Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon thee; behold, I know that thou art my God. 10 In God will I praise his word; in the Lord will I praise his saying. 11 I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me. 12 The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me. 13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
