43. Psalm 56- A Prayer for the distressed

Be Gracious To me, O God, for Our enemies wish to trample upon me, all day long foemen seek to oppress me, Our enemies wish to trample upon me all day long, for many fight against me proudly. When I am afraid, I put all my trust in You. In God, Whose Word I praise, in God do I fully trust with no fear. For what can flesh do to me? All the days long they sought to injure my cause, all their thoughts against me for evil. They banded themselves together, they lurked, they watched my steps. As they have waited for my life, so Recompense them for their crime, In Thy Wrath Cast Down the peoples, O God! You Have Kept Track of my wanderings, Put my tears in Your Bottle! Are they not in Your Book? Then my enemies will be turned back in the day when I call. This I know, that God Is With me. In God, Whose Word I praise, in YHWH, Whose Word I praise, in Him Alone I fully trust with no fear. For what can man do to me? My vows to You I feel I must perform, yea O God, I will render offerings of thanks to You. For You Have Delivered my soul From eternal death, yea, my feet From falling, that I may walk before You, You my God Are the Light of my Life.
