A Call for God’s Protection
1 Be gracious to me, God, for a man is trampling me;
he fights and oppresses me all day long.
3 When I am afraid,
I will trust in you. 56:3 Ps 112:7; Pr 29:25; Is 12:2
4 In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me? 56:4 Ps 27:1; 118:6; Mt 10:28; Heb 13:6
8 You yourself have recorded my wanderings. 56:8 Or misery
Put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your book? 56:8 2Kg 20:5; Ps 139:3; Mal 3:16
11 in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
What can mere humans do to me? 56:10–11 Ps 112:7; Pr 29:25; Is 12:2
