Psalm 56:3-11

Easy-to-Read Version

³ When I am afraid,
    I put my trust in you.
⁴ I trust God, so I am not afraid of what people can do to me!
    I praise God for his promise to me.
⁵ My enemies are always twisting my words.
    They are always making plans against me.
⁶ They hide together and watch every move I make,
    hoping for some way to kill me.
⁷ God, send them away because of the bad things they did.
    Show your anger and defeat those people.
⁸ You know I am very upset.
    You know how much I have cried.
    Surely you have kept an account of all my tears.
