Psalm 55:4–7

3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

4 In God, whose word I praise—

in God I trust and am not afraid.

What can mere mortals do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words;

all their schemes are for my ruin.

6 They conspire, they lurk,

they watch my steps,

hoping to take my life.

3 When I am afraid,

I put my trust in you.

4 In God, whose word I praise,

in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.

What can flesh do to me?

5 All day long they injure my cause;

all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They stir up strife, they lurk;

they watch my steps,

as they have waited for my life.

3 What time I am afraid,

I will trust in thee.

4 In God I will praise his word,

In God I have put my trust; I will not fear

What flesh can do unto me.

5 Every day they wrest my words:

All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,

They mark my steps,

When they wait for my soul.

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?

5 They are always twisting what I say;

they spend their days plotting to harm me.

6 They come together to spy on me—

watching my every step, eager to kill me.

3 Whenever I am afraid,

I will trust in You.

4 In God (I will praise His word),

In God I have put my trust;

I will not fear.

What can flesh do to me?

5 All day they twist my words;

All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They gather together,

They hide, they mark my steps,

When they lie in wait for my life.

3 When I am afraid,

I will trust you.

4 I praise God for his word.

I trust God, so I am not afraid.

What can human beings do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words;

all their evil plans are against me.

6 They wait. They hide.

They watch my steps,

hoping to kill me.

3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.

4 In God (I will praise his word),

In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid;

What can flesh do unto me?

5 All the day long they wrest my words:

All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,

They mark my steps,

Even as they have waited for my soul.

3 In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee. 4 In God will I praise his word, in God I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me? 5 All the day long they wrest my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil. 6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves; they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul.

3 Even when I am afraid, I still trust you. 

4 I praise God’s word. 

I trust God. 

I am not afraid. 

What can mere flesh ⸤and blood⸥ do to me? 

5 All day long my enemies twist my words. 

Their every thought is an evil plan against me. 

6 They attack, and then they hide. 

They watch my every step as they wait to take my life. 

3 When I am afraid,

I will trust in You.

4 In God, whose word I praise,

in God I trust; I will not fear.

What can man do to me?

5 They twist my words all day long;

all their thoughts against me are evil.

6 They stir up strife, they lurk;

they watch my steps

while they wait to take my life.

3 when I am afraid,

I put my trust in you.

4 In God, whose word I praise,

in God I trust; I am not afraid;

what can flesh do to me?

5 All day long they seek to injure my cause;

all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They stir up strife; they lurk;

they watch my steps,

as they hoped to take my life.

3 When I fear, I trust you.

4 God, whose word I praise,

God I trust; I do not fear.

What can mere flesh do to me?

5 All day they twist my words;

all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They attack, they hide, they watch my steps,

as they lie in wait for my life.

3 When I’m afraid,

I will trust in you.

4 I trust in God. I praise his word.

I trust in God. I will not be afraid.

What can people do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words.

They are always making plans to harm me.

6 They get together and hide.

They watch my steps.

They hope to kill me.

3 When I am afraid,

I will put my trust in You.

4 In God, whose word I praise,

In God I have put my trust;

I shall not be afraid.

What can mere man do to me?

5 All day long they distort my words;

All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They attack, they lurk,

They watch my steps,

As they have waited to take my life.
