1 O God, have mercy on me,
for people are hounding me.
My foes attack me all day long.
3 But when I am afraid,
I will put my trust in you.
4 I praise God for what he has promised.
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?
8 You keep track of all my sorrows.56:8 Or my wanderings.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.
11 I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?
