Psalm 56:1–4

1 Be gracious to me, God, for a man is trampling me;

he fights and oppresses me all day long.

2 My adversaries trample me all day,

for many arrogantly fight against me.A,l

3 When I am afraid,

I will trust in you.m

4 In God, whose word I praise,

in God I trust; I will not be afraid.

What can mere mortals do to me?n

A	Or many fight against me, O exalted one, or many fight against me from the heights
